My SSD wont let me install windows 7 on it because it dosent "find" a partition. I've tried formatting, deleting, cleaning (diskpart) creating a new partition but it still says the same message. I have only this disk connected to my computer and im trying to install windows from a USB

I've fixed the same problem some time ago, and it went smoothly after I did some diskpart magic. But im doing it again and with no luck.

Thanks

Edit - The disk says "Disk 0 Partition 1" with 119.2GB / 119,2GB aviable space. - Type Primary

i was talking about the SSD which is what i thought you were having a problem with your SSD

if your SSD is partitioned as a GPT (not talking about formatting) for a UEFI BIOS, then you're having the same problem i was

to check if it's set to GPT partitioning, go to my computer>Disk Management and where you see the red arrows, right clik on the that small box where it sez "Disk 0" or "Disk 1" and describes the size of the disk,
if the small menu that opens shows a choice that sez "convert to MBR disk", even if it's greyed out, then your disk is set to GPT, if it shows "convert to GPT disk", again even if greyed out, then it's partitioned as a MBR disk

Do you mean the USB or the SSD?
The USB is NTFS and the SSD should be formatted with NTFS

No USB drive should be plugged in. The SSD should be the drive shown in your BIOS / EFI. When you start your computer and have the option to enter BIOS by hitting like F2 or F12 or soething does it SHOW the SSD listed in the computer. IF not you may need to RESEAT that drive.

NO YOU CAN NOT ADD A SSD VIA USB.
