Problems when fresh installing W7 on a SSD.

[GAS]

Hello,

I just bought an Agility 4 128gb drive and tried several times to do a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate on my x61t.

I tried just taking the old HDD out, putting the new SSD in and an USB windows installer (that works, because I just used this same USB to install W7 in the previous hdd a week ago). I set the computer (F12 on splash screen) to boot via USB. It started the installation and did not complete it. AICH was on on the setup screen even before the ssd was put.

I tried then to do the same, but now pressing F10 on first screen of installation. I used diskpart utility to clean, create a partition and format such partition with ntfs. Started installation and it did not complete either.

Then I removed 2Gb of RAM, leaving only 2Gb and tried step 2. It didn't go through either.

I checked the SSD with the lenovo setup utility and it seems to be OK.

All attempts failed when expanding windows files, sometimes at 10%, others at 30% other at 90%. The error screens are below (some of them usually the installer shows about 40 errors in a row until it quits to the main page... Rebooting the system without usb after an error I get a Bootmgr error.

The error screens are below...








Can anyone give me some light?

Thanks!

Just to be helpful with others facing the same problem:


I needed to upgrade the firmware in order to the SSD work in my laptop. From 1.5 to 1.52 version.

OCZ haz a bootable linux based app to update their firmware.

I'm still using original BIOS in my laptop.
