    I am trying to use an OCZ Vertex SSD in my F5000. However, when I try to install Windows 7, the installation fails every time at the point where I am asked to select the hard drive partition on which to install the OS. The error is "Windows cound not format a partition on Disk 0 - error 0x80070057". At this time, everything seems to be pointing to the SATA driver or disk controller as being incompatible with SSD drives. Does anyone have experience in this area with useful advice?

    Thanks. :confused:
