Hello.
I been trying to install win7 home premium x64 on my x200, it has a hitachi 7200rpm,i havent an external optical so i make a bootable usb with win 7, and when i get to the screen where you chose the partition to install SO, and after of formating the complete hd and click on next it says that cant find a partition or make a new one, so i tried to format the partition before the installation with acronis disk director, also with paragon and magic partition pro, but i still getting the same message, then looking on lenovo web i found the intel matrix storage driver so i installed it on the laptop when asked for drivers in the same screen, also tried to making the partition active an primary before the instalation but it didnt work, now i dont have any other ideas to solve the problem(by the way, i havent an external optical drive). Any ideas or a solution? what should i do?!
Thanks.
