Just re format SSD and reinstall ?

TL; dnr
Tried to reinstall w/ windows 7 disk - BSOD.

This is a new build, i really believe this is a windows issue. Just wanna make sure there are no issues with formatting an SSD - I've never had to do that.

Thanks.
 
Solution
Just boot from the installer disk, and quickly check the bios to see that the SATA mode is AHCI, then select custom install, first step delete all existing partitions and then install to the remaining unallocated space.

TY for the hand. Probably could have figured this out solo, but 2 heads are better than 1.

Your answer was perfect. I have an MSI z77 G41 and it was not easy (obvious) on how to check the ahci, but it's good to go now.

Thanks again kind sir !!
