I am having trouble installing Windows 7 on a new SSD drive. I'm installing on my existing desktop PC - Intel i5-2500K CPU with 8GB Ram.
Windows will not find ANY drivers - even though I've selected automatically update drivers etc during the clean install.
This is what I have done:
Disconnected SATA cable from existing Drive.
Connected new SATA and Power cables to new SSD.
Reboot - and set DVD drive as first boot option, plus SATA type AHCI.
Inserted OEM Windows 7 disk in DVD drive, and rebooted.
Selected Custom install option.
Advanced options and clicked "Format" drive.
Went through install procedure.
Deselected DVD drive as first boot option.
I can boot into Windows - but not even monitor drivers are loaded. No network controllers are loaded, and if I say select any Controller in Device Manager and either try update/install drivers - it comes back with no drivers found.
I have reconnected my old hard drive, and everything is work fine (just very slow - hence reason for SSD drive).
What have I done wrong - can anybody point me in the right direction?
Many Thanks
