Hi All,
I have installed new Crucial SSD 480GB on my R400. I have created bootable USB using Original R400 ISO image and set the boot order properly in BIOS.
The system boots fine from bootable USB, loads rescue and recovery page. I select the recovery media as USB.
Then it starts product recovery process and nothing happens (no progress shown) .
Please let me know if I missing something here. I want to do clean install of Win 7 using USB drive.
Thank you
Sandy

You need to use CDs for that, R400 is "too old" to work from USB for recovery.

Thank you very much for information.RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 1:03 pmYou need to use CDs for that, R400 is "too old" to work from USB for recovery.
One of fellow forum member helped me to get the recovery disks (DVD). I burned those disks and tried to recover.
The system boots fine and Rescue and recovery process starts. It starts with Disc 1 (OS), but there is no progress update on screen. I kept it for 5-6 hours, but no progress and it did not ask for Disc-2 also. (App & Drivers)
I am currently on BIOS 3.10.
Am I missing any step here? (Do I need to first format brand new SSD before using with R&R).
Thank you very much
Sandy

That new drive needs to be initialized first.
