uefi ssd USB windows 7 x64 ultimate install error 0xc000000d
Hello,
I'm trying to do a clean install of windows ultimate x64 on my dell Inspiron 20 3043 via USB on a new ssd.
So, this is a new machine. I pulled the disk drive and installed a new sandisk ultra 128gb ssd.
The bios is InsydeH20 version A04
When I boot up and choose uefi USB I install, It goes straight to the a black screen with windows boot manager, error 0xc000000d. I can't even get the windows install screen.
I've read as many forum threads as I can and I've done the following.
I created the USB using Rufus 1.4.0
GPT partition
fat32
default cluster size
(if I use any mbr option, the bios won't recognize the USB drive)
What am I missing!? I have 2 brand new ssd's (both sandisk ultra 128). With one I played w every option from using diskpart to disk management. There's several threads suggesting how to set up the ssd via windows install, but I haven't even gotten that far.
Ultimately, I'd like to duel boot windows 7 & 8 (since... the new computer is basically a giant tablet).
I'm posting here after hours of frustration. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
