Error: 0x80300001 on eMachines T6412
I am trying to install W7 on my eMachines T6412 with no luck. Both the BIOS and W7 installer recognize the SATA hdd. When selecting the drive user is prompted with "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300001". Altho, I am able to format the drive using the installer tool. I have been doing some googleing and it appears that I may need some SATA drivers. Would this be fore the HDD or for the SATA controller on the mobo? I can't seem to find drivers for either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
