Most SSDs benefit from having the SATA mode set to AHCI rather than IDE. Check that in your BIOS.

Are you doing a fresh, full install of Windows 7 with a disk/flash drive, or are you trying to upgrade?

Please fill out your system specs under User CP above, and be sure to check the box to show them.

Set your SATA ports to AHCI, and ensure that all drives are plugged into the SATA 2 ports that are running off of the Intel controller. Then try the install again.

Is it an OEM or retail or burned copy of Windows 7? It could be a corrupt disk.

I'm trying to remember where exactly it is under the BIOS. Should be under SATA Configuration or something similar. Choices should be IDE, AHCI, and RAID.

An install onto a basic SSD should take somewhere between 8-15 minutes for Windows 7.

Had a similar problem. with 2 drives connected( ssd & seagate) window tries to install on the larger drive. If u set the ssd 2 be your primary(boot) drive and the os is on the seagate. u get nothing. In bios set ssd to be higher in boot order. Or just disconnect the seagate(your probably just using it for storage), Do the install with only the ssd connected then later do your tweaks to have all not non important stuff to saved or shifted to the hdd.
