Windows 7 Install No HDD's
Getting really Frustrated with this. First off I have an Asus CM5570 AP006 with Intel Dual Core 2.3 GHZ 6 Gigs of Ram and Nvidia GT100.
I am trying to install win7 to a new hard drive after a reboot would not see my original hard drive. Figured the drive was toast (no big deal have most of the data readily backed up). So i buy a new WD 320 Gig HD. toss it in go to do a clean install of win 7 cannot find HDD for install.
Steps:
1. Swapped Cable - Didnt work
2. Swapped ports - Tried all 6 didnt work
3. Loaded Manufactured Drivers - Tried all compatiable at win 7 setup
4. Flashed bios - No difference
5. Tried IDE (compatible and Enhanced), AHCI through bios.
6. UBCD Tested all harddrives (including one i htought was toast) All tested good per manufactures tools and SMART.
7.Called ASUS - Great Hardware and Customer service is a joke on the prebuilt computer side.
(Edit) Also parted and formatted and flag for boot the new HD with gparted on UBCD. - Didnt work as well
So here I am now. LOL. I have pretty much over done everything here. But I do not get how I can boot into a LIVE UBCD system and everything works fine and I cannot even install or repair a win 7 install.
Please help. I am not sure what I am missing and I have I guess became to old to work on the new stuff LOL.
Thanks for the help in advance.
