Im fixing a laptop for a friend. As far as i knew the issue was no operating system.
Im using my Windows 7 disc to install, i get as far as partitioning and wiped it all and created a new partition. When i try to hit next it says.
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.
When i go into the bios and attempt to run a disc check it tells me "Hard drive not exist" even though i was able to partition it. I cannot even set it to top priority in the boot order as it isnt detected. But windows detects it and allows me to partition it...
Makes no sense to me. Hopefully someone can help out here
