Hello,
when trying to install my win 7 builders version dvd in my built pc with msi mobo and solid state drive it just keeps cycling thru the the startup process. any ideas?
 
You might try installing windows in "native ide" mode instead of achi. You can then change your installation from ide to achi after you finish using this procedure:

I often clone my ssd's, since a full windows 7 install has all the achi and sata drivers.
