    Ok so I'm a tight bastard, but then again so are all Yorkshiremen, we are almost as tight as the Scots. I will try the trick of part install in my machine and then move it to his, is there nothing like an advanced Belarc advisor that would say for definate what is and isn't working?

    To be fair, clunk drives are as economical as they are expendable. Killing one would not bother me nearly as much as killing a 1 TB SSD no matter how many books I dropped on it. :)

    Ok, sorry guys the laptop had to go on the back burner but I'm off for a week, and this morning took his new 1TB drive and put it in my (fully working) Samsung np355-v5c A06uk the A06uk being the only difference to my sons laptop. When I tried installing Windows 7 I disabled secure boot and it said loading windows setup files then starting windows then a black screen with a white cursor and nothing else happened.
    So does anyone have an idea why I can't install windows 7. I even made a rufus flash drive with win 7 installed, it just comes up asking to insert proper media and press a key. Any ideas???

    Ok so after a bit of youtube I got a little further with Rufus, I have to disable fast bios in the advanced section of bios to be able to boot from usb. So with that and secure boot disabled and legacy and Uefi enabled I got to the same stage as with a DVD.

    Windows starts to load set up files, then the windows logo comes on screen for about 20 seconds then it goes to a black screen with a white cursor and then nothing happens. I've left it for 5 mins with nothing happening. Please bear in mind this is on both laptops mine and his and mine works great with my "Clunk drive" in it. So please can someone tell me where I'm going wrong, is this a samsung thing or just a Yorkshireman doing something daft???
