    New Hard Drive in HP Notebook


    Hi,

    I have installed a new hard drive in my HP Compaq nx6125 notebook. I am also trying to do a clean install of Windows 7.

    The new hard drive is 149 GB, larger than previous hard drive.

    I am receiving the following error message while trying to install...

    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Ensure disk's controller is enabled in computer's BIOS menu"

    Windows 7 detects new hard drive.

    Can someone please help me? Thank you!

    It is for Vista but same principle. Error message when you try to install Windows Vista on a computer that has uninitialized hard disks: "This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk"
