    Maybe you'll see it better with Download Active@ Partition Manager and be able to do it from there. I had that MB just UD3 and Kingston SSD Now V300 was working on it.
    Sorry. It does recognise my SSD. I used WinKey + X, then Disk Manager and then it shows an unassigned SSD. How do I format it into NTFS and how do I assign it a letter?

    Okay. I did it using Disk Manager. It is now E:/ and it has an NTFS format.

    You can try installation now and see if it's recognized. As only disk and in first SATA3 port.

    I freaking love you, man!!

    Error didn't appear. Windows is currently getting installed in my SDD. Let's wait an hour or so to see if it worked properly.

    You should change SATA mode to AHCI instead for Native IDE. I also have got a Gigabyte board and my SSD is 50% slower under IDE mode. On top of that you will lose some capabilities like NCQ and maybe TRIM won't work properly...

    But before doing that you MUST MAKE THE FOLLOWING CHANGE;

    Open a cmd with admin rights and type: bcdedit /set {default} BootMenuPolicy Legacy

    It will say something like "la operación se completó correctamente".

    This will enable you to choose boot options with F8 (like safe mode).

    And now that we are at that: after changing IDE to AHCI mode in BIOS you must boot into safe mode first; otherwise Windows WON'T BOOT AT ALL. After booting into safe mode you can safely reboot again and boot normally.

    ˇBuena suerte!

    I usually prep new disks like that before installing OS.
    Does network adapter work now ?

    Issue loading win 10 with two hd


    The first thing needed would be to unplug the 1tb drive 7 was installed onto. Apparently the 10 installer may have already tried placing boot files as well as one or two temp installation folders onto the wrong drive.


    Thanks! As soon as i removed the second drive no more issues with the installation.

    The W10 installer will automatically bring in the "Secure Boot" first seen with Windows 8 as well as 8.1 which secures the boot sector against unauthorised by W8, 8.1, and 10 against unsecured unknown OSes suggesting protection against hacks as well as unauthorised installations which unfortunately leaves 7 at a disadvantage. The unplug of the older 7 drive in order to see 10 go onto the newer SSD is the better move! Hopefully you will be able to add a boot entry into the 10 BCD afterwards to see a working dual boot. At times a 3rd editor can be suggested while the BCD Editor can also be used.
