New internal components, WD Hard Drive Wont install Windows 7
Good Evening,
I've run out of options as I am only fairly tech savvy, I can put stuff together but if I run into issues with my hardware that seems bios related im at a bit of a loss, so I apologize if this ends up being simple but ive been tweaking stuff for hours.
NEW HARDWARE:
AMD FX-6350 Vishera 3.9GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor FD6350FRHKBOX
EVGA 04G-P4-2768-KR GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support SC 4GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GXM
I kept my existing Western Digital 1TB SATA Hard Drive and my 730W Power Supply from my old set up. Everything powers on great, but my windows file seemed corrupted as I could not load, and no repairs seemed successful. I had nothing worth savings so that's okay, I popped in an install disc of Windows 7 PRO 64Bit and when I attempt to install on my petition I formatted I get the error of "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not suport booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." I researched that and I find that most people say try having BIOS in AHCI mode. I have tried that, RAID, and my other option, and all fail to give me anything different.
If anyone has any clues as to what I can tweak or why I cant see to get this sucker to install, that would be amazing, I was so excited to get my desktop back up and running with new parts and so far I have nothing bu frustration. Thanks for any advice in advance!
