Hi all

I'm having a problem with windows installation. I tried to install win7 but installer couldnt see SSD or HDD. It stopped and asked for the driver. After i provided a driver all went well. I'm trying to clean install win10 but it just gives error message and it will not install. My HDD and SSD are connected to Intel ports and visible in BIOS. I tried EUFI and legacy mode but got the same result. I believe that Im missing driver/drivers. I was wondering if someone could help me with adding right driver for the installation or perhaps slipstream one into install.

Just check the sata mode on the bios , if its changed on ide , then you should choose the ACHI mode for instal win 7 orc8 or 10 on ssd drives !

Try with usb flash disk for instaling fast ,
You only needs , usb flash + rufus software + dvd retail of windows or windows *.iso format .
