Re: New hard drive won't boot after first restart
I haven't worked with OCZ SSDs, are you sure it needs IDE mode for firmware update? That sounds silly, SSDs are designed to make full benefit of AHCI in the first place. If they designed it for firmware update only in IDE mode that would be very stupid design. Not to mention that your board should have option for IDE mode, but that also depends on the boards and the manufacturer of the PC (if it's branded, they cut out almost everything from the bios).
In any case it looks like hardware issue, doesn't look related to ubuntu at all. It almost sounds like the SSD is not working as it should.
What happens if you boot with the cd in live mode and run both:
sudo parted -l
sudo fdisk -l
Darko.
