Ok, lets get started.
I build my rig and i have windows 7 on a bootable usb drive. When I plugged it in I went through the standard windows installation process and then it says where do you want to install Windows? Nothing is there and (at the time) my bios was detecting the hard drive. I read some forum pages on this and one guy said to install new sata drivers. So I went to my motherboard's website and went to m product and downloaded the official drivers, put them on a flash drive and installed them on my new rig. Now whenever I start my computer to the startup where it usually says windows is loading files and then takes me to the windows installation process but this time all it says is
"A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
So of course I restart my computer several times to no success. Also, I thought I should add, the bios no longer detects the hard drive.
I made sure each sata cable was connected properly and I tried switching out the sata cables. Any reason why I am getting this message? I did buy the hard drive off of eBay used becuase I found a really good deal. Could it be a defective Hard drive? Help is MUCH appreciated and if it answers my question then you get a best solution. Thanks SO much I have been having so many problems with my computer lately. Thanks for even attempting to answer . have a great day!
