Hi Guys,
Just bought a Crucial CT064M4Solid State Drive 2 64GB M4 from Amazon http://www.amazon.co_uk/dp/B004W2JKWG/?tag=tec053-21
It arrived today, and I've just got home from work and plugged it in...
When booting up the Windows 7 install disc, I am presented with the following:
Seems normal, so I select the first option, and when it's loading up the first screen that says Windows is loading files... it freezes on this point for about 30 seconds:
And then this screen appears:
For those of you who remember me, I've never had anything go right with a computer, ever... and stupidly enough I expected this to actually work. Silly me.
I have no idea what's wrong, and as far as I can see from forums people with my mobo can happily use SSDs despite the fact my mobo does not support AHCI and neither do theirs, but theirs work and obviously because it's me... mine doesn't.
I've already tried swapping the SATA ports around for the DVD drive and the SSD, but same thing happens.
Does anybody have any ideas on what it could be? I'm really, for want of a better word, fucked off that I've spent nearly £100 and it doesn't even work... when it's nothing more than a new hard drive which is such a simple component
Any ideas?
Many thanks, from a very annoyed Mike Tyson
P.S. the disc itself is detected in BIOS and appears in the boot menu
