• can't install win7 on new SDD
    1 replies, posted
So my friend called me to see if i could help with his problem. He had a virus on his HDD and wanted to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on his new SSD. He plugged in the SSD but the Windows 7 setup does not recognise the SSD. I told him he might had to format his SSD first, or atleast make a partition on the SSD... So I did that, booted Win 7 setup again but it's still not possible to install Win 7. Bios recognises the SSD and Win 7 does too, when I go to "My Computer", both the HDD and SSD are there... What could be the problem here? We googled for lots of issues about this problem but none of them really helped.
