Hi, I recently built my new gaming / moderate workstation computer a few days ago and I am reusing quite a few components from past systems, such as my Crucial 120GB Sata III SSD. I can't directly boot to it, so I had to hook up a secondary hard drive which had windows 10 on that, and install Windows 7 on my SSD via my windows 10 drive. I have verified that I can read and write to the drive through my external hard drive, yet for whatever reason I cannot boot to it. My BIOS detects it all fine and dandy, but when I try to boot to it, It displays the message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press a key". Whenever I try t boot to my USB Drive to install windows, it doesn't detect any drives. When I hop into either my secondary drive or my device manager, my SSD / Hard drive get recognized when I install windows 7 opn my SSD via my windows 10 OS.
I don't care about any of the data on either of my drives, I have already backed up everything to an off site location, so feel free to offer whatever solution works. I have tried many things, so keep that in mind too.
