Hi. I have an problem with installing Win 7 on my X25 Gen. 2 ssd drive 80 gigabyte version. I formatted the disk under installation of win 7, when I come to the alternative where I want to install, it says installation program can't create a new system partition or find an existing system partition, look at the log files for installation for more information. I have also tried to format the disk with Gparted. Can someone Help meg to find an solution?

Did you make sure it's formated NFTS and not FAT32

Would you happen to have a USB drive plugged into the computer? I have had this happen before as well due to that... it's weird.

Had the same problem, I had to disconnect all drives and just do the install with just the SSD connected (Intel 510 120gb).

The install worked fine after that, I connected the drives after shutting down and windows discovered them on boot up.
