Hi all,
I know you may have heard of this question many times, but please read, I googled and read all the posts others have made, still need help.
I desperately need help. I recently bought a new Sony VAIO T series ultrabook. The windows 7 that came with it had lots of bloatware on it so I am trying to install a clean version of win7. The problem is, when it gets to the "Where do you want to install Windows" dialog box, nothing shows up.
Things I've tried:
1. tried to change sata controller from IDE to AHCI, but BIOS does not have such setting.
2. diskpart, drive does not even show up in diskpart. **I would like to add that if I run diskpart while in windows, the disk shows up, but when I run the command in the windows set up, it does not show up, the command line begins with X:/ and not the usual C:/. Also, diskpart while in windows set up does not recognize my computer name, which is set as Larry. It shows it as MINIMUT...
3. cannot check connections because it is an ultrabook and the inside is not accessible.
I have tried google and read almost all the threads on this topic, but still cant find a solution.
all help will be greatly appreciated.
