I'm pretty sure I have a Kingspec 64GB PATA SSD around here somewhere,
so I can try this locally if need be (when though.. later in the week perhaps).

But first thing to try, is wipe out the partition table on that drive. This can be done from any Linux machine thusly:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1

(replace /dev/sdX with the actual device node).

Cheers.
