Windows Installer not recognizing hard drive
Hello, again
I have an HP Envy Ultra book which I purchased a few weeks ago from best buy. Last night in a very sleepy state, I attempted to install Linux Mint. I have done this before on my desktop and never had any problems.
When I boot up the laptop, I get a gnu grub screen. I tried everything I could think of to fix the boot record and eventually decided just to reinstall 7 and move on.
I thought I had a back up flash drive, but windows did not recognize it.
I used a bootable windows 7 flash drive I had from the PC I built laying around, and figured I would use that.
I go command prompt in the windows installer and try to list my disks and it only shows the flash drive, nothing else. When I go to start the computer and select the boot device, it does recognize the hard drive.
I cannot get the windows installer to recognize the hdd. Is there something I"m missing here?
Thanks
Raw
