Hi All,
Had a hard drive fail about a month ago, only just managed to get bloody thing going again (and restore most of my pictures from old drive). My mate very kindly gave me an SSD 100gb from a RAID system he had been working on. The plan was to install Win 7 on the SSD, then use the ordinary 1Tb drive for games, files, etc.
It shows up fine in Win 7 (installed on an ordinary drive) but when I try to install Win 7 onto it, it gets as far as restarting then I get a disk error, press CTRL ALT DEL to restart.
Tried a few times now, using internal DVD, external DVD and from USB key, same every time. I have the ADHD (lol, whatever its called) selected in the BIOS, and the drive is recognised correctly in the BIOS as well.
Anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong? It shows up now in Win 7 as 2 drives( partitiions?): 97GB free on drive F: and 100Mb reserved on drive E:
Cheers!
