Hey guys, I am completely stumped on this one. About a month ago my laptop's hard drive crapped out on me so I decided to purchase a SSD to replace the operating system.
My SSD I bought is a Cruical m500
(Link to the SSD: Crucial M500 CT120M500SSD1 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) 2.5" MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - Newegg.com)
(Link to Laptop: HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k022dx 15.6" Sleekbook - AMD A10 Quad Core 2.1GHz, 6GB RAM, 750GB Hard Drive)
So here is where I am now, I have to start from scratch and use this SSD to install a new OS on it. Once I got it, I installed Win 7 on it but I realized that my MOBO doesn't have ANY drivers for Win 7 and it was running way too slow and I was unable to install.
Since then, I have obtained a copy of Win 8.1 and I am attempting to install it. I cannot format my SSD correctly to take the OS. It will not let me use commands in DISKPART such as (format fs=ntfs). I keep getting an error that the parameters are not correct.
The Windows installer cannot format it correctly either and I continue to get an error where it states that Windows cannot format the partition. There has been for some reason once in a blue moon that I was able to format it and once it gets to the end of the installation it states that there is a corrupt file on the install.
I know that there is nothing wrong with my copy of Windows 8 because it has been used to install on other systems and the USB is completely new. Before my system crashed I was running just generic Windows 8 so I have no idea if that is why I cannot install Windows 8.1.
I am dumbfounded, gentleman and I could use all of the help in the world for this one.
Thank you.
