Windows 7 Cannot Be Installed To SSD - Enable Disk Controller In BIOS
Jan 10, 2013
I have Dell Inspiron N5110 i7 and with 8Gb RAM and I have replace DVD drive with SSD disk in caddy, and that this is working fine ( when formatting I can copy files), also I have selected AHCI for SATA controller in BIOS. After that my plan is to put Windows 7 on SSD disk. So I have make one USB flash with Windows 7 installation from iso file.
Then during installation when I got to point to select SSD disk as disk where OS will be installed I receive message: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." What I need to do, I have formatted SSD disn with HTFS, I have leave it blank, I have tried all possibilities.

trying to install Windows 7 on sony laptop with a copy that is different from the original copy of Windows 7.did partdisk, clean all, create partition, and dvd install gave the "can't install to disk, turn on disk controller in BIOS" error. there is no disk controller function in my BIOS.if partdisk clean all was successful, does that mean the HDD and its controller board are ok, that is, not physically damaged, and the problem is with software/installation/setup etc.?what should i do next, in order to have a successful install?

I need some information regarding the convertion of SATA to AHCI.I have built a new PC with i5 2500K,Asus P8Z77 M Pro Motherboard and 8GB Transcend RAM.I tried to install Windows 7 ultimate after formatting my old hard disk(Segate Bracuda 500 GB).I got an error as "Enable Host Controller in BIOS settings"Then i surfed and found that this is the issue with SATA to AHCI Conversion.I also found a Microsoft KB Error message when you start a Windows 7 or Windows Vista-based computer after you change the SATA mode of the boot drive: "STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE". The KB has a Auto fix setup file that can be installed on a pre installed hard disk. But i have formatted my disk and i couldn't install a new copy of windows 7.There is an auto run files for the same Auto Fix but when i tried to boot the auto fix from a USB stick,i got an error "Please insert Floppy Disk for copying files".I dont have a floppy drive attached to my new computer.let me connect it to my old computer(intel dual core with mercury motherboard) and install window7 in it with the Auto fix installed on it and if i connect it to my new computer and boot it will it be working?Is SATA will be converted to AHCI after doing this?

I recently bought a computer and it had an OS issue, so after some tinkering I was able to install XP onto it, then install 7. Everything went relatively smoothly. I had downloaded the drivers and updates from HP's website for my model computer. I went through and started installing them one by one. I came across the BIOS one and it said it couldn't install it. There was also a Windows update that wanted to install, but at the same time I had already moved to the next driver, a USB controller, and that one had completed it's installation and wanted to restart. I had stopped the Windows update and then prompted it to restart the computer.
It shut down and when it came back up, it brought up a black screen with some text, that then flashed blue for a split second, then turned off. I went to turn it back on, but there is no display now. I currently have a DVI-HDMI that is plugged into my laptop, but it says it can't recognize anything (though it had been doing fine before all of that). I do not have a Windows 7 disc. I had downloaded it from the internet and mounted it using Daemon Tools lite and all went smoothly, so I don't think that was the issue. I have a feeling that something went wrong. I've tried hitting F8, 9, 10, and 12 hoping that it would enter some mode and the display would reappear, but nothing. Do I need to burn Windows 7 to a disc and try it that way?

I have a 1 yr old dell vostro 3400 and for most of that year the wireless worked perfectly. Recently I have no wireless: I cannot set up or connect to anything, and nothing is visible. When I go to control panel etwork and internetmanage wireless networks, is says "Wireless is not currently enabled." I know about the little toggle on the laptop's exterior, and that is in the correct setting. I ran a hardware check from the BIOS and all relevant hardware is properly working. When I go to registry editor though, some of the files in SystemCurrentControlSetservicesWlansvsParameters have no values set to them (I didn't set them like that). how I can reenable wireless or is there a list of default working values for those files?

I have installed the latest version of Java, and have used the command prompt to verify that I do indeed have Java. I can also play Minecraft, which requires Java. I can not enable Java in Chrome or Firefox even though both of the settings claim that Java Runtime is enabled.

I had Windows 7 Prof. 32 Bit version installed on C. I had two more volumes D and E.So i needed one more volume therefore i shrinked the D and took 16 GB from it and made it new volume as NTFS formatted drive M. When doing it windows showed some warning that "you wont be able to boot except from your current installation" I cant remember exactly.After that the colour changed from blue to geenish yellow.When i restarted the windows logo started and the system crashes and BSOD with STOP Error : 0x0000007b (0x80786B58, 0xC000034, 0X0000000, 0X0000000)I ran diskpart Here are the results:My all 4 partition had become dynamic and i think this is the reason that windows wont boot.

I have a new computer. When it boots up, I see AHCI Bios not installed. I do not know much about the workings of a computer. What does AHCI Bios not installed mean? My computer runs on Windows 7 and so far it seems to work just fine.

New Motherboard ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS, bios version 1302 windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, video ATI Radeon HD 5450. I have installed 8gb of memory and bios reports only 4gb, windows sees 8gb with 4gb usable. I have tried all the usual fixes, updated bios, swapped sticks(reseated) install 1 stick at a time to no avail.I can not seem to find any memory remapping switches in bios setup, but something is locking out 2nd 4gb.

I'm going to install RC1 in the next few days.
I was looking to test the stability within RC1 of an adaptec 1220SA card I have to control the system drives. I have the Vista 64bit driver for the card as this is the newest listed.
I have created a recovery disc in beta build 7000 and hope to use this to boot into a DOS shell and follow the instructions given on the adaptec site:
This is the BIOS release v6.0-0 Build 2330 for the Adaptec SATA II RAID 1220SA Controller.
This BIOS should only be used together with Driver v1.6.12086 in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.
This self-extracting archive includes the flash utility, the BIOS image file and the Release Notes.
Caution: If the BIOS update fails with an error message "unable to find file" or "target controller does not match", please see ASK Answer ID 15241
Installation Instruction: This file is self extracting and will unzip to the directory adaptec1220sa. Copy the expanded files to a floppy diskette. The expanded files can also be copied to a USB device or CD-R.
Shut down the operating system and reboot to DOS from a bootable floppy disk, USB device or CD-R. Insert the media with the update files. Run the flash utility program named AFU.EXE included in this download to backup the current BIOS and flash the new BIOS image.
I'm hoping to expand the bios update file onto a cd for the second drive or alternatively stick it on a USB stick.
My question is this, when I am in the dos shell, what do I do!
I suddenly realised that i've never had a need to use the command line

I'm trying to install windows on my brand new SSD drive. It failed a couple times and now it says, "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks." What does that mean? Is the SSD drive junk?

I have a new 2TB WD SATA drive for my Dell Inspiron 545 to replace a failed 1TB drive. When I get to the part of the install where it asks "Where do you want to install Windows?" there is a message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk."I clicked "Show Details" and it says "'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." I read many threads here and on other sites. The drive is visible in the BIOS and set to IDE, not RAID. The processor is Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33 GHz. The drive is connected to the same cables as the previous drive. [code]

I know there are tons of threads on this but as of yet none of them have helped.Trying to do a clean install on a Sony VAIO laptop PCG-71312l (or something close to that)Where do you want to install windows?I have Disk 0 Partition 1 with a total size of 298.1 and free space of 298.0 GB Type is primaryError message below says "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 1. (show details)"The details are:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS"Well that's the fun part of the SONY VAIO - you can't do squat in the BIOS except change the date/time and boot order but I read that the VAIO will detect and setup everything automatically.So I Can't do any ACHI/IDE changes.
So if I just click on next I just get an error message of"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."I have deleted, formatted, created new partitions and restarted the computer 10 times. Nothing is getting me anywhereOh and I had to create a bootable USB from the windows ISO to USB/DVD program.I have gotten this to work just fine before with the same hard drive which was working just fine an hour ago.

Corsair Force Series GT 180GB SSD
A WD Caviar Black 1TB that I already had
I'm booting off the Win7 install disc and I get to the "Where do you want to install Windows?" step. The SSD is all unallocated space and I deleted the existing partitions on the WD. So I see:
