I have an alienware m14x r1. I just bought a samsung 840 pro 256GB SSD and while trying to install windows 7 I get 0x8007045D error (while expanding files).
Bios version is A03 (didn't upgrade BIOS as it might disable SATA3)![]()
SSD is installed in place of old hdd.
Installation media is Windows 7 DVD.
I read another thread here where the problem was solved by interchanging hdd and sdd, but I want to keep my optical drive :cry:
is there nothing else I can try apart from taking my Optical drive out and putting my SDD in its place.
Should I just go for samsung data migration and get done with it?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Latest update:
1. Updated the unlocked A08 Bios
2. Cloned Windows using Samsung Data migration.
3. Installed SDD -- voila! computer boots blazing fast.
3.a - OS optimization using Samsung Magician.
4. Ran Samsung, ATTO and AS SSD benchmarks -- getting ~250 MB/s -- abismal from ssd's perspective
5. Uninstalled Intel RST and got twice the performance.
I tried cloning and then reinstalling clean windows as well! still get the same 0x8007045D error.
