SSD not found after installing Wifi Card

[Shuga]

Hello all, this is my very first hackintosh build and I've enjoyed some success thanks in large part to this wonderful site. I've been able to install Yosemite and get it up and working on my 250 gig ssd.

However, when I install my wifi card and reboot, my system no longer recognizes my ssd and my only option is to boot from my usb drive . Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Reseat SSD cables (both ends) and test.
If still not working try a different SATA port and test.
If still not working remove the Wireless adaptor and test.

Good Luck

Can you Boot OSX via USB?
I think you need to reinstall your Bootloader.

Yes, I've done all of this. When I remove wifi card and reboot, everything works again.

Then it's either incompatible or defective - Have you tried it in a different slot ?

No, it's currently installed here:

Putting it in the other slot worked! Why would this be, do i have a defective slot?

thanks for the advise.
