I have a sandisk SDSSDP-128G-G25. Tried to install windows onto my ssd but it's giving: "Windows can't be installed on drive 1 partition 1". I clicked showed details and it says "Windows cannot be installed ot this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. I already tried formatting the ssd and using clean through cmd. deleted all partitions, still doesnt work
