Hey all,
First time PC building here.
So I'm currently in the process of building my first rig. Make it all the way to the windows install (thinking its going well) enter product key, select custom, and then, when prompted with 'Where do you want to install windows' with Drive 0 Allocated Space (My HDD) as the only option. Under this menu I have the option to refresh, load driver or new. But when I click "new" it wont allow me to partition my HDD.
So when I click Drive 0 Unallocated Space, I'm promoted with a message saying "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
I've seen post on here with the same problem and I've tried many of the posted solutions. however, none of which have really worked for me. For example, switching to AHCI. I'm assuming its because of different motherboard so there are other ways to work around this.
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 is the motherboard I'm using.
My HDD is a Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Not realy sure where to go from here but would appreciate any assitance. But thank you in advance!
