I had a Crucial drive did the exact same thing and because it cant be seen by bios I couldn't update the firmware which crucial said is what it needed. I had to send it in and they flashed it and sent it back. Took about 16 days total. I know this isn't what you want to hear but as it happened to me I thought id throw it out there.
