Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Well I decided to give Windows 7 a try but I'm having a problem with the install.
When I get to the part where it asks what drive/partition to install to, it is not showing the drive I installed in my D901C just for this purpose. I have 3 hard drives installed, all 200gb 7200rpm seagates. I also have 2 more of these drives that I swap in and out for this kind of purpose.
Well I first tried taking out my C drive(disk 0, system drive with Vista 64 on it) and putting in one of my other 200gb seagates, this one was empty. But when I go to install it only shows disk 1 and 2. The new drive would be under disk 0, since it is in place of my system drive, which was drive 0. So I put my system drive back in, and swapped out the drive from under my battery, which I believe is disk 1 and put the blank 200gb seagate there. But now Windows 7 setup shows disk 0 partition one(where vista is) and partition 2(storage) and shows disk 2 which is just another storage drive, but no disk 1.
The disk I installed to use for Windows 7 shows up in Vista and I am able to use the drive. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing Windows 7 setup to not recognize this drive?
One weird thing though.
When I first formated this drive, I made only one volume, using half the total size, and when I rebooted, and went to disk manager, it showed the entire drive (186gb) as being one volume, with no unallocated space, but seeing the drive in "My Computer" its showing only the size I specified during the format. So in the disk manager, it should show half the disk as NFTS and half as Unallocated space. So maybe its a bad drive. It is from PCMW afterall
