Windows 7 Pro will not format or install on 600gb vraptor or 128gb SSD
I just built the machine in my specs but my Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit will not install at all on my SSD or 600gb vraptor. They are recognized in the bios but when the installer starts it wont let me install at all on the SSD.
It sees it but says the OS cannot be installed on it. It's either that or some type of registry file error. For the VRaptor, it won't even format it. I've tried both copies of my 7 DvDs, tried it from USB, and even tried Vista x64 to no avail. I've updated the Bios too. I think it's a driver issue, but it won't recognize the sata drivers on the mobo disk.
The baffling part to me is that I plugged in the old 300gb VRaptor with 7 already installed and it booted just fine. I then plugged in the 600gb drive and it immediately recognized it and formatted it. I put the SSD in a small external case and plugged it in via usb to my laptop and it was recognized it and I was able to format it as well.
