At the worst possible moment, right after the Windows 7 installation "ends" it gives me that error message that it cannot configure windows to run on my computer. Do I have to replace my HDD or something? Please help.

Nope... I researched a bit and from what I gathered the Windows I'm installing has to be compatible with my HDD, Advanced Format. I'm installing a 64 bit version and I have a WD10EZEX blue, and apparently it is AF. Soooo, I'm pretty much lost...

It's on Native IDE. I skimmed through the links but I was very confused at what they were saying. I've checked my ports but they're all in the right place. I looked into the Microsoft website and basically already had the Method #2 on and it said I didn't have to do Method #1. I still get the same message...
