1st question: why am i recieving the error messages during installation: 1:Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Please check your media
drive Error: 0x80300024 & 2: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 computers bios.  2nd question: even tho ived used the DVD's to install windows with all the time, it saying my not support booting to this disk. i checked the bios and i put my main drive to boot first like DVD Drive boot first to boot from CD or DVD and main hard drive to boot first to go into windows after installation. Can anyone help me out with the situation? i have xfx 680i SLI lt motherboard. so i have no ahci support. i used a 500GB hard drive for windows and 320GB for back up.
