Windows 7 Installation not detecting SSD 840 evo

[Spike_1]

a few hours ago i build my new system msi z170 krait, i7 6700k and the only driver in system is a ssd samsung 840 evo. This driver i puted first in another system to configure it through disk managment and then put it in my system. As i run from usb stick with enabled windows 7 installation from bios it cannot detect the ssd as driver. It cannot detect any driver. Any solution?? My pc is ready and i cannot do anything...

Things i read on internet said something about mobo that doesnt support windows 7 anymore and something like that.

You dont have to use disk management before you install windows on it.

You can install / format it in windows setup

WHAT did you do with it in disk management?

If you plugged the flash drive into a USB 3 port, plug it into a USB 2 port. If there are any on the motherboard

There are windows 7 drivers for it on the site, so thats not the problem

 

[Spike_1]

Do you think its usb port problem that cannot detect my ssd? a got a front panel usb 2 port.

 

[Paul NZ]

I t should work with a USB 2 port. WHAT did you use to put windows 7 on the flash drive?

 

[Spike_1]

Rufus a program that makes bootable usb drives

 

[Paul NZ]

OK thats good, you may have to go into the BIOS and change it to legacy. It maybe on UEFI.

Windows 7 doesnt (If you use 32 bit) support UEFI

 

[Spike_1]

what change to legacy? i use win 7 ult x64 edition

 

[Paul NZ]

Ok so you did plug the flash drive into the USB 2 port? Did you connect data and power to the SSD? You need both

 

[Spike_1]

Well its on legacy. I booted through usb 2 port and still ssd cannot detected

 

[Spike_1]

Yes connected properly

 

[Paul NZ]

Ok change it back to UEFI 64 bit kind of supports it.

And make sure you connect the ssd to power and to a SATA port. Try another SATA port

 

[Spike_1]

i got it on sata 3 should i change?
The options for Legacy usb support are: enabled, disabled and auto. What to put? Its on anebled right now

 

[Paul NZ]

When you used Rufus what did you select?? MBR or UEFI? It'll probably make a difference

Put the SSD on another sata port. See what happens

 

[Spike_1]

I chose "MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI-CSM"
btw when i disabled legacy suddenly couldnt see usb device

 

[Paul NZ]

If you've still got the windows 7 iso change it to UEFI in Rufus, then see if it works

 

[Spike_1]

In BIOS every sata hot plug is disabled any idea?

 

[Spike_1]

well other options are "MBR partition scheme for UEFI" and "GPT partition scheme for UEFI". What to choose?

 

[Paul NZ]

GPT since 64 bit kind of supports it

 

[Spike_1]

File system FAT32?

 

[Paul NZ]

That should be OK yup. if it doesnt work change it to NTFS then try again. But FAT32 should be OK

 

[Spike_1]

Copying ISO files right now. Its so annoying that bios detect the ssd but when im going to instal windows isnt anywhere! And ofc no explanation at all!

 

[Spike_1]

GTP scheme created and still no ssd detected. WTF!?

 

[Paul NZ]

mmmm dont know then. You may have to buy Win 8 or 10

 

[Spike_1]

I will download win 8.1 iso and try...
