New Gateway box that came with a 1TB drive. Bought a 160GB so I can install the OS on there and use the 1TB for data. Problem is the Gateway recovery DVDs I created that allow me to reinstall the OS don't recognize the 160 drive during installation. It's just not an option to install on.
I can see the drive while in Windows 7. The BIOS sees it. It's right there... but not when I boot from the disk to reinstall. I'm guessing Gateway has given me a very specific version of Win 7 that doesn't have all the install options? I can't figure this one out. I also posted this in Storage. Wasn't sure where it should go.
Any theories you have would be appreciated.
