Hello,
I have a Gateway E-155C tablet laptop. Recently, I ordered a mini-pci SSD from Amazon for $40. When I installed it, the system would boot to a screen with the error: "Unsupported wireless network device detected. System halted. Remove card and restart." Removing the card made the error disappear, but I can't boot the system with the card inserted. Is the card incompatible with this laptop, or am I missing something? I can't even get into the CMOS Setup. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Solution
Here's what I think you're running into "The connector is similar in appearance to a PCI Express Mini Card interface,[43] but is not electrically compatible; the data signals... need a connection to the SATA host controller instead of the PCI Express host controller" found here Wikipedia: Serial ATA
