There is a video link at the top of the list that you should watch.

Well i was able to update the bios, but it has not helped. The SSD doesnt show up in bios or when in Linux mint and i still cannot access the HDD that does show up.
I thought about it last night and decided to order a new ssd and hdd, they both arrived today. I have not done anything with them yet. Unless you guys have any other suggestions for me to try i think i will go ahead and replace my HDD with the new one and see if i can access it in linux before i do anything else.

If me and your new SSD is over 180GB I would clean install just Windows and the MBs chipset & storage device drivers to the SSD to begin with, and then go from there.
I have to agree with @phillpower2
Plus if successful do not install anything else and run the system for a while to make sure that is is stable.
Let us know how things go.

OK guys thanks for the advice. It looks like ive got things working again.
Last night I actually did what you said this morning and setup my new SSD and installed windows on it. It was working well so I decided to check out my old HDD and SSD and see if I could get them. I was actually able to access my old HDD and its working fine, but my old SSD is not. (I also confirmed with my friend that windows WAS on my old SSD -oops- that explains the boot problems I was having, still don't know why my old hdd wasn't working in Linux but ohwell.) I think the old SSD died somehow.
Ive been running some applications (like steam) since last night that was on my old HDD and my PC is working like normal.
Anyways now I have the new SSD running windows and my new HDD as well as my old working HDD installed.
I know this ended up taking a while to solve so thanks again for all the help.

Sometimes it can take it bit to solve especially when having to do things through a message board.
Glad to heat that it is resolved for you.
Happy computing.
