Trying to install Windows 7 in the mSATA of my dv6-7014nr.

Crucial M4 mSATA SSD 256 GB, HP dv6-7014nr, and Windows 7 (CD, USB, ISO)

I tried installing Windows 7 but for some reason, it always gets stuck in one of the processes and I've even left it for 6 hours. (Expanding Windows)

I've noticed that it leaves files in my HDD as well. So when I removed my HDD, the Windows installation couldn't even proceed because it needed a drive with a boot system.

I've formatted my SSD to basic, I could drop files in. It's NTFS right now.

Anything I'm forgetting to do?

 

It also says to make sure that the controller for the device is enabled in the BIOS.

 

I lost connection with the mSATA drive when I was transferring files to it. It was 15GB of files and it stopped at around 1.2GB. Also, I can reconnect the mSATA drive by going to Device Manager and "Scan for Hardware Changes" in Disk drives.

So I assume this is the only reason why it's not working. Anyone knows the reason to this?
