It definitely did not like me trying to install windows 7 on another drive. It very quickly gives me a stop c000021a error. My computer DOES see the drive though.Īnother strange occurance- after that failed, I said 'screw the solid state!' And to use my computer til I figured out the issue, booted from my old, working OS on the other drive.
I tried reformatting the drive multiple times, but no go. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer.' This obviously don't work. It installs some files, restarts, gives a quick message about doing something with the registry, then promptly gives me this message 'windows could not finish configuring the system. Rather than research to see if I first needed to deactivate the os/key on my old seagate, I took the easy route and decided I would just install the new ssd alongside the old hard drive (dont know if that's part of the reason for the problem.I can never even get to the screen where it says to input the key, where I thought the problem may be.) I was going to reuse my Windows key, the OS being Windows 7 Home Premium. To start at the beginning: some laggy computer instances lead me to decide to replace my crappy seagate hdd with a solid state.
