Hi All....
Here is my rundown :
I thought maybe it's because I haven't format the SSD yet.
So I go back to DiskManagement, right click the SSD, but the context menu doesn't have "Format" option.
The context menu option are : (1) New Simple Volume .... (2)Properties and (3)Help.
So I go to the internet and check what is "new simple volume".
The internet say that it is used for additional/secondary drive of the OS.
My Plan is like this :
My question :
Is it OK to click "new simple volume" for the SSD as the SSD later will be the Disk0 ?
If it's not OK, would somebody please tell me on how do I do it ?
Because I'm blind about this, I worry that later the computer won't recognize the SSD (if I click "new simple volume") even if the Win7 installation process to the SSD succed.
Any kind of respond would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advanced.
Here is my rundown :
- Plug the new SSD into Sata(1) hole, where Sata(0) is the HDD running OS.
- Turn On the computer
- Open Disk Management which suddenly pop out to do something to the SSD, with the selection "MBR" vs "GPT".
- The default tick is MBR, so I just click OK.
- On the right pane of DiskManagement, I see the SSD with info : Disk1, Basic, 111.79Gb, online, Unallocated
- (because I don't have USB and DVD drive), I download WinToHDD, open it and choose "new installation"
- point it to my Win7 dvd-ISO file then choose Win7 OS ... then...
- I select "Disk1 Adata SU650" provided by WinToHDD, but then WinToHDD complain "There is no partition on the Disk".

My Plan is like this :
- Clean Install Win7 OS to the new SSD via WinToHDD
- (Hopefully Win7 installed into the SSD succesfully), replace my current HDD (with Win7 OS) with the SSD put into the Sata0 hole in the mobo.
