I must be missing a step someplace here. Formatted a WD 800 IDE NTFS. Went to install Win7. Got an error..."Cannot be installed to this disk". See pics attached: of Error and Settings screens:
Dell Optiplex GX240. Bios version A03.
Been a while since I used IDE, so I set the jumper to Cable Select. Checked in Settings, it shows the HD. I do not get a lot of choices in the Settings menu.
"Windows cannot be installed to this Disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
the HD works fine. i had on problems copying the files off of it, low-level format, regular format in NTFS. I can't imagine that I need to use FAT32.
Suggestions welcome....
