I thought I would install a new ssd drive. I have a pretty old motherboard- xfx 680i LT, so did some research, and found that while the drive might not work at 100% speed due to the sata II, it should work ok, and will still be a good upgrade until I can change the mb, cpu next year. Tried installing last night and ran into some problems. I backed up all my stuff onto my external drive, and powered down. Fitted the ssd, unplugged my old hd, changed bios boot to cd, and away she went. I had printed out some steps, so using disk part, I can activate the partition and format to ntfs etc from the command prompt. All went ok, formatted fine, and activated the partition. I chose to restart, and was greeted with 'bootmgr' missing, ctrl alt del to restart. Tried to reboot but still wouldn't let me past that issue. Googled it and had some ideas. Unplugged the ssd sata cable, and it booted from cd back into the windows 7 screen again, of course no drive present at setup, I plugged in the ssd and it showed up using refresh, but it said windows cannot boot from this drive, check compatibility or something like that. So am I done here or does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any help.
