Resolved but not really fixed
Win 7 is now working on my new SSD. The problems aren't really fixed but the problem is solved.
To make a very long story less long.....
This is my 4th day attempting to get a fresh install of Win 7 on my SSD. I've made about 6 different attempts of different alternatives and each one failed in some way. I spent a lot of time searching the net for solutions including posting here. Nothing worked. Therefore, out of frustration I did what I didn't really want to do. I got EaseUS ToDo Backup Home and cloned my old Win 7 to the new SSD. This appears to be working.
Thank you to everyone who took their valuable time and provided me with suggestions.
OMG - As I'm typing this note, my wife came to me to say that her computer had frozen. (It's her computer that I was working on) A reboot got it working again but this worries me. I may be back with another post if the freezing continues.
Thanks again!
