    Hello,

    I hope you can help me I am getting stressed out.

    I bought a G73-a1 to replace my g50-a1. My g50-a1 duo core 2.8 had a Kingston 128 ssd now v series install by me worked great.

    I have tried to put this in my g73 around 20 times. I have downloaded windows 7 and installed. The installation runs until just after the select wifi connection and on the reboot I get a blue screen.

    If start the laptop with the original hard drive and put the SSD in bay 2 for storage it works (As storage space) but I can seem to install the operation system on it

    Any help is good

    Thank

    My mind is zapped and is in need of sleep, but isn't this the same "you need to wipe the MBR before using" issue?

    You might also need to perform a secure erase of your SSD since you tried installing the OS 20 times.

    Good luck!

    Skip the selection of the WiFi connection and complete the installation without error. You can establish the WiFi connection later.
