Win7 keeps on putting system partition on hybrid ssd
This is happening b/c I wiped my hybrid hard drive and need to reinstall windows:
Windows 7 keeps on putting the 100MB system partition on the ssd part of my hybrid drive, even though I'm installing on the mechanical part. The problem is, the bios doesn't recognize the ssd, so I can't boot into windows 7 after a fresh install. Using diskpart to offline the ssd doesn't help (Win 7 will refuse to install if ssd is offline). How can I get around this problem? Is it possible to pre-create the system partition or move it to the mechanical drive? How?
