Without any basic info about your system, except the processor, it might be a little hard to determine.
I do remember someone earlier having a problem with a specific Vertex drive, but I do not remember which one. If there is a firmware update, it might help.
If you have the drive attached to a separate controller than the chipset, it may need a special driver. I assume you do not have any USB 3.0 ports, but there have been such messages when someone tried to use one of them for an install.
If it is an older system, a DVD drive may need updating or replacement. Perhaps try the flash drive method to see if it helps.
And it is not normally a good thing, but if I understand your situation, you might image the old drive then re-image back to the SSD.
Maybe some system specifics and how your system is configured could help. For instance, what motherboard and where are your drives connected...etc.
