Windows 7 claims it is unable to install itself to the second partition of my SSD (the first one currently being taken up by a different OS). It informs me that this is because it does not know how to boot to the hardware. It gives me the same message on many of my hard drives that I use for file storage. Is there some BIOS option I need to change?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by system. Do you mean compatible with the SSD I'm trying to install it to? Considering it's a new SSD from a well known manufacturer, I would imagine so. I've already installed Windows 7 to some of my hard drives, all of which are the same model, yet I also get this message for these hard drives, despite the fact that Windows 7 has already been installed to one of them.

The best thing you can do is post us your specs.

Mobo
Processor
Ram etc.
Also what type of SSD? Sata? M.2
What manufacture ?


The more info you give about your rig specs the easier it is usually to help identify ones problem.

I have several working installations of Windows 7 that I run on this computer so I would say yes, though they are on different drives.
