I have a question regarding the installment of a M.2 SSD to my motherboard as an extra storage disk.

I currently own a As-rock extreme 4 z77 motherboard and would like to add a second SSD to my setup. Currently, I have one SATA SSD connectedt my system which I use to boot windows 7 from. So as it stands I have a Plexor M8PeG 512 Gb M.2 SSD which is connected to a StarTech x4 PCI Express to M.2 PCIe SSD, Adapter. In my bios (version 2.90P beta) under hardware overview it states that a ''Marvell mass storage device'' is connected to my mobo however, upon booting into windows nothing appears under disk managment and windows tries but fails to install drivers for a new PCI device.

I've tried installing drivers for the disk as offered by plexor but they can't find a device. I've also tried connecting it to the PCI slot which my GPU uses with no success.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I now see a plexor boot screen before that of ASrock and upon starting windows it was able to install drivers for the newly connected device. However, I still can't detect the SSD under storage > disk managment .

Setup:
Windows 7
Intel i7 3770K
8 gb ram
Boot disk: Adata SSD (SATA)
Storage: seagate barracuda (SATA)
