please can anyone help !! I've received my new ssd to put in my pc (scandisk 64 GB sata 3) now I have had pc's for along time and if I had a pound for every time I've installed win 7 I think I would be a rich man.
here's the trouble installed new ssd into bay connected everything up as I have done loads of times in the past set boot to cd/dvd hit enter win7 loads go to install and first thing it says is cannot install due to hard drive is gpt format or something along those lines
changed ssd form gpt to mbr reformatted gone all through the boot up process but still it will not let me install win 7
please please please someone out there tell me what am i doing wrong I've done this hundreds of times but never this trouble

PS at the moment the hard drive I have running is an ocz 256 gb ssd sata 2 the new one is 64 gb sata 3 the 256 is going in my laptop if I ever get this 64 gb working

thanks martin

Look at it again in 6 months and see if it is still 48GB.

I don't know regarding AGCI in bios but the other ssd works ok. on the other (GPT) at the screen in set up for win 7 it says unable to install due to hard drive volume is gpt type hence the reason I changed it to mbr like my 256 ssd that's in as we speak
and the last one you mention the answer is yes when I tried to install I pull the lead off the 256 ssd when pc is powered down
