New SSD isn't showing up in Disk Management but does in BIOS

I just got a brand new PNY CS1311 240GB SSD from Amazon, and I hooked everything up with the Molex Y-connector and put the sata cable into the free third port.  I went to format and partition it so I can start adding games, but it didn't show up.  I then shut down and went into the BIOS and it shows up there in the third SATA port.  But not in disk management.  Any ideas?  Is the third SATA port not meant for a storage drive?  Should I switch the blu-ray drive and the SSD in the SATA ports?  Making blu-ray port 3 instead of 2, and the SSD port 2 instead of 3?

I just want to format and partition, I'm not trying to install windows on it or boot from it.  I just want to use it for games.  Any help would be appreciated.

Got it.  Switching SATA ports worked.
