Backstory:
I've been running windows 8.1 on my hard drive for over a year and finally bought an SSD. I originally had it hooked up as a secondary drive. The first time I used it, windows didn't detect it so I downloaded 'EaseUS partition manager'. I created a partition and it was detected and worked fine. After a month I decided to change to the ssd as a primary drive.
I unplugged the other two drives I had installed (main windows hard drive and a 2nd SSD) and put in my windows 8 CD. I got up to the 'Where to install Windows' screen, where upon selecting the SSD Windows said it couldn't create a partition. I tried playing with boot orders, didn't work. I tried going back to my old windows install and making 2 partitions on the SSD, still didn't work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
