    I have put a Samsung 264 GB ssd in my w520 and done an entire Windows7 sysgen.

    At the end of the sysgen the system cannot boot.

    Has anyone either had such a problem or a solution.

    I have a w520 and I have put a Samsung 256GB ssd on it.
    It will not complete the lenovo Windows 7 install.
    Oh, I see, the 'Sysgen" is confusing you. That means 'instal" in computer language.

    How are you trying to install Windows on your SSD?

    - Clean Install using the original Windows 7 ISO's?
    ** Are you using the bootable USB install? Is this an UEFI install?
    - Lenovo Recovery DVD's?
    - Cloning Tools (not recommended IMO).

    You're actually missing a verb in your original post.

    No. They are Lenovo recovery DVDs. I am doing a clean install.
