    Hey guys, I recently bought two WD Blue internal hard drives (1TB) to replace my old hard drives (raid 0). When I tried to install Windows 7 it gives me an error massage, "Windows setup could not configure Windows to run on this computers hardware." So I did a little research and I follow all step on method one on the website ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753). Method one is not working so far...
    "Note Advanced Format disks have a physical sector size of 4 kilobytes and a logical emulated sector size of 512 bytes. "Advanced Format" is a new technology being adopted by PC manufacturers to increase media format efficiency which will lead to larger capacity hard drives. If you are replacing a hard drive in an older PC, you may be more likely to encounter this issue."
    I tried the load driver option and Windows is not reading the driver files for RST. What should I do? Exchange 1TB HHD for 750GB HHD?
    Thanks guys

    Does the system in which you're trying to install the drives support RAID?

    Yay! Yes, the m17xR2 does have two HHD bays. Right now, I can't get windows to read the driver for the Intel RST in the load driver option.. :confused:
