Sorry to keep going on (and off topic)...But now I can't install win 7 pro x64 because it says:
Windows cannot be installed to disk 0 partition 1.
Windows cannot be installed to the dis. This computer's hardware may not support booting to the disk.
I've seen this before and I can't remember how I got around it.
All I've got plugged in is my SSD and USB DVD drive. I've set the SATA mode to AHCI (and I've tried IDE).
I've also tried installing the OS from a USB key...
Any help would be great thanks.
