Windows cannot be installed to this disk...
Hello guys.
So,I had windows 7 Home Premium 32bit on my Lenovo G780.
The laptop was seriously overheating,and I realised I needed to change the thermal paste.
I changed it,and as usual,disconnected my hard drive to check for dust.
It was clean,and I carefully returned it to its slot(there is only 1 slot for hard drives on my laptop).
Then I decided to install Windows 8.1,to make a clean start,and since it was the most stable OS to me(Windows 7 would go to hell 3 days after installation,Windows 10 would throw poop at me from the start...)
The whole procedure was painfully slow,but I actually managed to select Custom Install,but instead of saying "There is already another Windows,do you want to move those files into windows.old?" it just started the installation and froze at 0%.
I canceled the installation,it said it restored previous settings,and I rebooted.
However,it didn't want to boot into the OS.
So I popped the windows installation disk back in,and this time everything was faster,but when I chose Custom install,all the partitions were gone,and there was only 1,"Drive 0 Unallocated space"
I selected it,but I got the "windows cannot be installed to this disk ensure that the disk's controller is enabled" and said that I needed to check the BIOS controller,come thing like that.
I wentninto BIOS,and here are the pictures of what I see in it.
I did try Restoring Settings to default too.
Also,here is the exact error I get when trying to install any windows.
