WD VelociRaptor 300GB (D3000HLFS)
Hi There,
I was hoping someone here might have developed a way around the issue with the HLFS versions of WD's VelociRaptor drives...specifically that they are not supported during installation, they work fine as storage drives but Win7 Ultimate 64bit will not install to them. When an intallation is attempted it corrupts out at about 30-33%. The drives and the rest of the hardware all pass everytest you can throw at them, on Microsoft's supported HW website it lists these drives as "We are checking with the manufacturer to confirm compatibility."
The Win7 copy will install and run fine on other drives and as noted previously all HW has been fully and repeatedly tested, all bios version are up to date, all firmware has been updated as well.
