Frog42 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I just put together my new system. I'm trying to load Windows 7 from a flash drive. I've used the drive installing on a different computer, so I know it works. I have my BIOS set to AHCI. I have used PartedMagic to Secure Erase my Crucial SSD. Things seem OK until I'm asked where I want to install. It tells me it can't partition the drive. I can manipulate the drive from within the win7 installer, but whenever I hit Next, it says it can't do it. Alternatively, If I set it up as IDE instead of AHCI, it will go almost instantly to "copying files (100%)" and then hang at "expanding files (0%)" and then give me an error 0x80070002 saying Windows cannot install required files. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog42 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Update: I booted into a live version of linux using a USB. I tried copying the "install.wmi" on to my SSD. It didn't work. I tried copying it on to a different USB. It didn't work. Maybe I'm having a USB problem? Unfortunately, I don't have a CD drive yet, so I'll have to try a few more possibilities.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 18, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 18, 2011 Have you secure erase the Nova drive and then tried the fresh install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
