When I try to install Windows 7 from my installation disk, it will not detect the new SSD. But
the drive is seen in the BIOS. How do I resolve this?
When the SSD is recognized in the BIOS, but Windows 7 installation does not detect the drive,
follow these steps:
Disconnect any other hard drives or SSDs. Boot the Windows 7 installation disk. Choose repair,
then advanced, then command prompt. Type: "diskpart" without quotes and press Enter. You
will see a prompt labeled "diskpart". Type the following commands and press enter after each
one.
Diskpart > Select Disk 0
Diskpart > Clean
Diskpart > Create Partition Primary Align=1024
Diskpart > Format Quick FS=NTFS
Diskpart > List Partition
Diskpart > Active
Diskpart > Exit
Then reboot the computer to the Windows 7 installation disk.

When performing a fresh installation or MacOS High Sierra on my new SSD, it states that the
drive is not detected. It works fine if it is an upgrade installation. How do I resolve this?

Then press RETURN. Scroll up to top and verify the Kingston SSD disk (i.e. disk0, disk1, etc).
Then type:
diskutil mountDISK disk0 (or whichever ddisk is the Kingston SSD).
