Hi,

SSD is not detecting in Macbook but is showing in windows pc disk management for initialization. still after initializing nothing is showing as a drive in this pc option.
earlier windows 7 was installed and was working in Macbook perfectly.

Pls help
 
You need to create a partition after initializing disk and then assign a drive letter to that partition in order to see it under "This PC".
 
Open Disk Utility in MacBook OS installation wizard thingy (System Preferences > Disk Utility) and see if it is showing there. Most likely it will be listed there. If it is not listed there, then there is some kind of hardware issue (bad SSD, loose cable, etc.). I'm assuming that it will show in Disk Utility. Now, select the disk and Mount it. If it still doesn't show outside Disk Utility, format it and create a fresh partition in Disk Utility.

You haven't mentioned how old is the ssd?
I have witnessed incidents where hdds/ssds not detecting in mac worked just perfect on win/linux.
