So I just bought a new SSD, (Samsung SSD 850 EVO) I installed it and all. When I tried to install windows 8 on it it wouldn't let me. The only drive that showed up was "drive 0 Unallocated Space".
I couldn't click next, I couldn't format. The only thing I could do was click new but even then it would give me an error message saying, "we couldn't create a new partition". So I looked online and saw people saying to make my SSD priority and I did. Now when I tried to instal there were two partition, "Drive 0 Partition 1" and "Drive 0 Unallocated Space". Again I couldn't do anything with the Unallocated space partition and with "Drive 0 Partition 1" I couldn't delete it, when I tried to format I would get a error message same when trying to extend it. I also saw people saying
"Make sure you set your BIOS to AHCI instead of SATA."
Which my bios was already AHCI.
And when I click on both partition there's a link at the bottom that says "Windows can't be installed on this drive. (Show details)". When I click on this is says
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of GPT partition style.
Windows cannot be installed to this dick. This computers hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disks controller is enabled in the computers BIOS menu."
I don't know what to do anymore! Someone please help!
