I've seen it all at this point...when it comes to error codes that is. After you've tried all the different tweeks i've tried, swapping sata cables, plugging hds into another pc to make sure the drives arent bad, formatting, refomatting, gpart, partition wizard, you'd find more grey hair the next day...lets just say i've memorized my windows security key at this point.
My problem started with the dreaded "this disk is MBR needs to be GPT"
I learned the cmd scripts for converting to GPT...however, after it says conversion successful in the cmd prompt and i type list disk the disk is not listed as GPT.
My resolution to this was to plug it into the hot swap on my other pc and convert it there. Done. Take drive out. Put drive in. Restart. Type security key again...Still no luck.
I've even tried creating MSR, EFI, and NTFS partitions on the drive in the working pc and putting it into the new one. Still no luck. Repeat security key entry.
Im stuck. And i need help. Both my roommate and I are avid computer geeks and have built many pc's together and independently. Our combined 40+ hours of working on trying to resolve this pc's issues is nuts. Never have i ever had such a hard time installing windows...please rescue me oh great gurus of the interwebs!
