    Windows7 installation problem with HDD WD2500JS


    Hi guys,

    I have a strange problem. I have running windows XP and it works fine but today I tried to install Windows7 and the installer couldn't find my HDD.

    I have Western Digital: WD2500JS and motherboard: ECS RC410-M2.

    Frankly, I'm quite puzzled from the situation ...
