Error with Win 7 Clean Install
I purchased Win 7 Pro 64 from Digital River's student deal. I then followed the instructions Here to make it a bootable dvd. I then went to Intel's site and downloaded and extracted their Intel Matrix Storage Manager for their 64bit AHCI drivers and extracted them to a usb flash drive to load during install.
Once I put in the Win 7 dvd it gets to the point where I select which partition I want to install to. First, I load the AHCI drivers that I put on the usb flash drive, then I delete the main partition that I had Vista on, and then format it. Now, if all was working well I would hit the Next button, but at this point I get stuck, as it says, "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x8030001."
A couple of notes, I did enable AHCI in my motherboard's BIOS. Also, I have two Sata HD's in my computer, a 320gb that is split into a 50gb(where Vista is installed) and 270gb partition(where programs are installed) and a 1tb drive where I keep videos/music.
Does anyone know what might be causing this error and any steps that I may take to resolve it?
