In a few words I have BSOD while installing new Windows 7 on SSD drive.
Exactly the blue screen shows up just a few second after "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" screen shows up. I have tried installation 3 times, always same issue. The blue screen says "Problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer...Dumping memory..."
I reviewed many, many posts on this (and other) forum(s).
The longer version below.
After replacing motherboard I'm, trying to install new clean WIndows 7 on my SSD drive.
The drive is 1 year old and was working with previous setup (Gateway FX6800-1e).
The motherboard failed (together with power supply) and I bought Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI LGA. I know could not use the old Windows so I was going to do clean installation.
The SSD (OCZ Vertex 2 240GB) is found in BIOS. First I had problem with widows installer not allowing me to install on this drive."Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only installed on GPT disks." - I fixed that using bootfix and by removing and adding partition.
I was able to install WIndows 7 on my other drive (Segate 2TB - no ssd).
WIndows does not even see my SSD drive. I was able to use Ubuntu to copy my documents and pictures from the previous that SSD (from previous Windows). Ubuntu had no problems with this SSD.
In BIOS I have to set AHCI mode - if set to IDE - no drives are even detected in BIOS.
PS. Next weekend I am planning to work on installing Mac OSX - I bought this motherboard/CPU to be able to build hackintosh, so I thought, I should just try installing OSX on this drive; however, Windows will still be my primary OS, so I want to have it on SSD.
