Hi !
Another 'lost' soul found his way to the forums. Pleased to meet you.
So, Im doing a clean windows 7 install. Here are the facts:
Disk is 2TB, partitioned into 3 (in this order): 1480GB, 300GB & 105GB. (Partitions also show in this order @ the point where you select what disk to install to)
Disk has NOT been used as OS disk in previous setup.
Bios flashed to last version & loaded default settings.
Preforming a clean install (from USB that I have installed from 10 times before, without a hitch) deleting the 105GB and installing to it.
Problem: After the final stage of the setup where you enter PC name, set the password, enter time settings etc, the setup restarts the computer for the 'final' time, final indeed.
What happens is that after the Bios / device scan, Windows won't boot and it won't continue past the black screen with the white blinking _ showing in the top left.
Could this be because C: has been 'occupied' (or set as master partition) by the 1480GB partition and won't boot from the 105GB partition where Windows was installed?
It's so weird because the first two reboots go without problem, no need to F8 and manually select the disk rather than the USB pen or anything.. But on the final reboot, nothing...
This is driving me mad.
Comments will be much appreciated.
Love,
Norway
