Its 2013

My macbook air model a1466 recently displayed a warning telling me to replace the battery. It then went on to shut down and never boot up since (no startup chime or anything on screen). I then replaced the battery, but it still won't boot up, i tried resetting the SCM successfully, but that...

I recently uninstalled my IDE ata/atapi controllers on accident and now my monitors go to sleep instantly when i boot, how can i restore my IDE ata/atapi controllers and boot with my hdd again, without being able to access windows? Atm im trying to clean install windows to access my hdd, but...

So my pc wont ever work with a pcie type, but actually needs a sata type? It's not that my pc doesn't detect the ssd, it's in the BIOS Could the issue be that i use AHCI in BIOS and not NVMe? I just read this on dells website

corsair mp510 480gb

windows 64 bit, its a regular asus vivopc x m80cj with no ssd built in, obviously

Yea i figured, im downloading the 64 bit now, onto my usb. I can still setup windows without my hdd connected? my ssd wasn't recognized in disk manager back when i was on my hdd.

Now it boots to a "grey" screen, kind of like when the pc boots regularly, but Windows doesnt run yet. I have Windows 32-bit on the USB although i have 8gb ram, should that make a difference?

I tried their guide, it still boots into the bios, even though i only have 1 boot option

and how exactly should i do that?

I'm in the BIOS now, what should i do to install windows on my ssd, i have it downloaded onto an USB-key

What exactly is the installation media? i used a guide that told me to uninstall IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and reboot Edit: I've unplugged my hdd but my monitors goes to sleep and the backlighting in my keyboard doesnt turn on and so on Edit: i just rebooted and im in the BIOS now, thank you...

So unplug my hdd?

I had windows installed on my hdd, i forgot to mention, sorry.

I recently got a new ssd and wanted to install windows on it, i followed a guide given by a user on this site, telling me to delete my IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers in order to boot into BIOS and install Windows from there onto my SSD. My SSD was not visible in disk management, but it was in BIOS.
