Problem with clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium x64
G'day,
I've just built a system for a friend comprising of the following parts:
Antec 100
Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3
i5-2500K
8GB Corsair RAM
NVidia GTS250
1 x OCZ Plus 60GB SSD
1 x Samsung F3 Spinpoint 500GB
1 x AVerMedia AverTV Duo Hybrid tuner
This is a brand new build with new parts and a first time clean install from a genuine retail Home Premium x64 DVD.
I have booted from the DVD and selected language for installation. When prompted for the location of the new installation, I have selected the SSD (the only disk currently visible) and created a new partition. When selecting Next to continue the installtion, I immediately get the following message at the bottom of the screen:
"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log file for more information"
I've installed to a similar SSD before and have never seen this.
Some things I tried:
1. Tried to install using IDE and AHCI - same result
2. Deleted the partion and recreated it - same result
3. Deleted the partition, recreated it, formatted it - same result
Surely this should be straight forward? What have I missed?
Regards,
Golden
