Hey guys,
I'm trying to install my SSD. Samsung 830 256gb...
I have Win 7 on a USB drive that boots fine. However Windows 7 installer can't find it.
I have tried switching it from ATA to AHCI makes no difference. I've updated my bios to the newest and still nothing. The bios CAN see it just fine.
This is a Dell XPS 15 L502X. I can't really boot both drives and all that happy stuff. Hopefully someone knows a fix.
I am able to run disk part from the installer and it does see the drive.. I have tried to clean it but it doens't help at all. Would formatting it work ? I don't want to damage the SSD. I'm way out of the loop on this stuff.
