Hello guys, so i installed W7 after buying a SSD, everything went well, the windows was updating to sp1 but i didnt know that and i closed the computer to take a look at the ssd's serial number to see if there are any updates (yes, very stupid of me), after i started it again it started updating on the "Starting Windows" screen amd it got stuck at 530-580 out of 96508, and then restarts, the error code is 0x000021a, and then after the restart the bios can't find my SSD, only if i turn it off then back on it will be recognized, i tried reinstalling windows, failed because the ssd stopped being recognized, tried the script.vbs thing, it fails after 10 minutes because it cannot find windows files on the ssd, tried dism.exe, it helps me boot to the Blue screen with "Please Wait" but then it restarts and so on, tried last known good configuration and everything. Plus, when i try to install windows on my HDD, it tells me that (it's 500GB) every partiton (got 2) is made out of 400 gb and has 300 gb free space... Did the sp1 update mess up anything that recognizes the size of my HDD? What's going on????????

Update: i tried to take a different HDD with windows installed and it gave me the 0x0000007B error which is a virus code. How do i remove the virus using command prompt or something else? Cause i don't have acces to the actual Windows. Oh yeah, and the ssd works EXTREMELY slow, it takes me 5-10 mins to get to the system recovery menu in "repair my computer"

Hello Zarnix, and welcome to Seven Forums.

See if you may be able to boot from your retail Windows 7 installation media, then:

1) Boot to a command prompt at boot to run the "clean" (not "clean all") command on the hard drive that you want to install Windows on. Be warned that this will completely erase everything on the hard drive including all partitions. Be sure that you run the "clean" command on the correct hard drive.
2) When "clean" has finished, use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below in the same command prompt at boot to create a new primary partition.
3) Restart Windows installation to see if you may be able to install to this hard drive now.

Hope this helps, :)
Shawn

Just re install windows again, and this time don`t interrupt the pc when it`s updating.

Make sure the ssd is the only drive connected.

Thank you for your help but the actual problem was my SSD's (Kingston SSDNow V100 128G) firmware was bad and it is working fine now. My problem was that i could not modify ANYTHING on the SSD (Delete, move etc.). Thanks for the Answers
