Sadly you are facing a SATA speed issue here. Lets review the specs for this SSD: '''[http://web.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ssd-plus/|SanDisk SSD Plus]''' If we look at the Interface line we can see the drive is a fixed SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) drive. for the sake of argument lets look at a different SSD: '''[http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/global/html/ssd850evo/specifications.html|Samsung 850 EVO]'''. If look at its interface line, this drive has auto sense technology so it will work across all three SATA specs.
You'll need to get a drive (HD or SSD) that is able to work with a SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) system. To get this system running.

Backwards compatibity is a common misconception!
Think of it this way a newer PC/Mac system can support an older drive device. It can't support a newer spec'ed device as the system has no clue on how it works! Now let's throw in the monkey wrench here, some devices ARE designed to be backwards compatible! This gets into the fine print of the spec sheet.
As I've pointed out the Samsung drive has auto sense. So you'll either need to find a FIX'ed SATA I speed SSD or find one that is able to be set to SATA I, or get one that can sense what the system needs (auto sense).

So using your bootable drive (your grey OS install CD) from the menu you'll need to access Disk Utility to delete the current FAT32 volume and create a GUID partition map with a new partition. Once done you'll then need to run the OS installer to install the OS. If Disk Utility can't see the drive you have either a SATA cable problem or the logic board has a problem as well here.
