Win 7 won't install on SSD
I'm trying to finish a new build with an ASUS P7P55D-E Pro with an Intel I7-860. I'm trying to install Win 7 (64 bit) onto an Intel X-25 SSD which is already formatted and has the latest firmware revision. The machine POST is perfect and the BIOS shows all hardware just as it should be...........but when the Win 7 DVD has loaded the files into RAM and shows "Starting Windows" the whole process just stops and sits there with nothing happening. Apparently the software can't see or recognize the SSD which is powered and ready (according to the BIOS and tests on another machine) and I can't figure out what is the problem. Anybody recognize this problem or have any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
