Question SSD problem

[Filip20]

Hi. Recently I have bought an SSD for my old laptop Toshiba NB500 because it had an old hard drive in it. First I tried to migrate the Windows 7 to the SSD via a SATA to USB cable using Partition Wizard. The problem is that after swapping the HDD with the SSD the SSD would not boot. I tried changing the SATA mode in BIOS from Compatibility to AHCI but no result. After that I tried installing Windows 7 from scratch using a USB ISO image. Again, during the drive selection step, it appeared the error: Windows cannot be installed to this disk, indicating a BIOS problem. I am lost. What should I do?

It doesn't work in your laptop and it doesn't work in the PC.
If you put it in the PC, can you format it so that it's a blank SSD again?
The you could try the cloning again.

I tried this method for 5 times already. I do not want to be rude but I don't want to do the cloning again because I feel it worked everytime.

Then try using another SSD.

I don't have another one...

I tried something else. I installed win7 on the SSD by putting it in the desktop PC. The problem is that the laptop still doesn't recognize the SSD after this fresh install.
