Hi to Everyone!

I have a problem, but i was searching for a couple of days is this forum and aroud google and i was not found a solution.

First, i tried to clone my disk hdd 120g to my new disk 120G SSD and dont boot. There are many reason for this, but in second place i tried to format and do a clean install...... i try this with DISKPART, with win7 DVD, with ubuntu dvd, with partition wizard, and no way. When Windows reboot, ocurre an error 0x0000007b and reboot in a loop.

My problem is that i dont know what is my problem!

I need a solution.... but first, what i am doing wrong?

Few days ago, i prepared a desktop pc with a new mother asus h81 with a celeron, and with the SAME DISK, i test the SAME actions (format with the win dvd, the SAME DVD), and win7 dont present any problem. Now, i know the disk is right and my old laptop is well with its old disk hdd.
**This new mother had like default the ahci mode ON.

i any driver or action i can do, for win7 install on this situation?

my pc is this: https://www.cnet.com/products/acer-aspire-5520-5155-15-4-turion-64-x2-tl-56-2-gb-ram-120-gb-hdd/specs/

Thx for any solutions. Sorry for my english, but i resist to use the google translate!!

Hey there, phakuphaku.

When you say "with the SAME DISK, i test the SAME actions" do you mean that you've tested only the Win 7 DVD, or do you mean that you've tried installing Windows on the SSD in question? Because it's quite possible for the SSD to be having issues if everything works fine without it and you can't even make a fresh install.

I'd suggest that you try it with a different computer and download an SSD diagnostic tool to test it for errors, to see if anything unusual pops-up. You could also check its manufacturer's website for available firmware updates.

As for the AHCI option. This should be set before you install Windows on the SSD if you are doing a fresh install. You should have something like SATA mode which you...

As for the AHCI option. This should be set before you install Windows on the SSD if you are doing a fresh install. You should have something like SATA mode which you can change from by using your BIOS. If it's set to IDE now, you won't see the actual AHCI before you click and change it. Since it's different for different BIOS/UEFI versions, I'd suggest that you check the laptop's User Manual on how to switch the SATA controller's mode from IDE to AHCI.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.

My friend, thank for your answer.
If my laptop had an option for change sata mode, i had found it. it doesnt have. Maybe a real sata1 the first edition, a lot before of AHCI Mode.. or when the legacy mode, was the only mode.
When a purchase a new disk, i will try your comments. This SSD is working with a pc i build for a friend for a ciber, runs every day fine and i dont think it had a problem.
Thank you!

Perhaps there's some sort of incompatibility issue if the SSD is working fine with the same installation media and a different computer. If you still want to try and use it with the old laptop, I'd suggest that you give it a head with the firmware update recommendation from my previous post.
You could also try updating or resetting the laptop's BIOS, to see if that changes anything.

Cheers!
