SSD won`t boot (black screen) during Windows 7 installation
Hi,
Just got a brand new Intel 520 240GB SSD and i can`t install Windows 7 on it.
- The SSD doesn`t need any drivers to be loaded during installation.
- AHCI is enabled in BIOS.
- Everything works great until the first restart during Windows install. After restart Windows install is starting from the beginning again and again at every restart.
- If i restart without the DVD inserted then a strange thing happens. MSI logo appears and when Windows is about to boot, nothing happens. The screen remains black. Windows logo does not appear.
BIOS is updated. SSD is inserted in SATA3 port. (Didn`t tried SATA2). SSD works great as i used it as a second disk with my old HDD. Intel SSD Toolbox says no error. All diagnostics are perfect.
Now i would like to ask you guys few things:
1. I can see the SSD inside Win setup. I can create/delete partitions. I`ve found on internet Intel AHCI drivers. If i load these drivers, does this makes any difference ? Once again i can see the SSD during Win setup without loading them.
2. If i use the SSD on SATA2 and let`s say i manage to install Win 7, can i change it to SATA3 port after ?
3. I think i saw somewhere on internet that this could be a corrupt partition. If i secure erase the SSD with Intel Toolbox and make the partitions again, will this solve the corrupt partition problem ?
BTW: Sorry for my english but it`s not my first language.
Thanks
Forgot to mention that my laptop is MSI GT70 0NC
