Solved Installer Doesn't Locate SN750 M.2 SSD, but it DOES after installation

nt6repair is on my sig.

Boot into win7 on your mechanical hd

Run nt6repair as admin

use the fix os drive letter section. Select the windows partition on the nvme in the dropdown. It wont be c:\windows because that is the mechanical disk you are booted into. Select the other one. Click Fix.

uhhhhhh

Have a look and see if the d:\windows\system32\config\software is there

It loads the software hive first to find the assigned os letter ( it usually c but not necessarily, so it always checks )

 

[casey7]

it is! it seems like theres a error in the coding of the program that it is missing a \ so it tries to find D:\WindowsSystem32\config instead of D:\Windows\System32\config

 

[SIW2]

No that is just the message .
I forgot to put the line in here , doesnt affect the function
IFEX $%List12%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE,!TEAM MESS %List12%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE HIVE NOT FOUND @reselect#Ok|EXIT _SUB

Seems to be working ok for me





If I rename the software hive so it wont be found , I get the same message

 

[casey7]

ah i think this was my mistake, i forgot to run as administrator. after rerunning it as admin its fixed

 

[SIW2]

ah.

hopefully windows will load correctly when you boot into the nvme.

 

[casey7]

it seems like thats fixed! now SSD is C drive after booting into it, and everything else seems correct as well.

one last question before i mark as solved, is this normal for windows 7?


as well as windows giving me a option to eject the NVMe ssd

1. You probably want the io inf files to get rid of the yellow bangs. Browse to them from device manager.

That will be something to do with your bios settings. It wont let you eject while it is in use, so it doesnt matter.
