dluxinterior Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm having an issue installing Windows 7 to the SSD installed in my Toshiba laptop. I swapped it out for a brand new S128 so i wouldn't have any space issues and still have the issue: The install reaches the disk setup portion, when i try to select the SSD the install displays a warning saying "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition" and done. I even used diskpart to partition the drive and then bootsect to update the partition so it showed up as a system partition...and got the same message. This is the second SSD I have had this isssue with and have not been able to install WIndows 7 to ANY SSD so far. Is there a storage driver available for the S128 for Windows 7? I have checked quite extensivley, but am unable to find one on this site or on some of the more well known driver sites. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 11, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 11, 2009 How are you setting the SSD in the BIOS? It needs to be set to emulate an IDE drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluxinterior Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Its a pretty simplistic Phoenix BIOS and does not allow for setting emulation of the drives in that fashion - i was inferring from the ease at which Vista could be installed that this would be no issue for Windows 7. So you are saying this is a BIOS issue then?? JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I've installed Windows 7 RC1 32Bit on 2 different netbooks with the S128 without any issues. What is the model of your Toshiba? Have you successfully installed any OS on this laptop with any SSD(you had mentioned 2 SSD's)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
