Hello, community.

I`ve buy some 2nd hand notebook and wanted to upgrade it`s hdd improving its performance. That`s why I`m trying to install a new Win 7 64bit OS on it. But, the OS doesn`t seems to find my hdd. I`ve been mounted the 2242 carefully and almost professional. There`s no reason to have problem but... that`s it. I`ve check the BIOS triple - the m2 function is enabled. A BIOS-version is from 2018. Give me some highlights about the problem. 

Thanks in advance.

Stefan

Hello, again.

The new is, that I`ve put another hdd along with the Toshiba m2. And guess what - when it load my Linux Mint OS - the toshiba`s appear there !!!! I can use it under Mint, but cannot install Windows 7 on it, because it isn`t appear in the menu.
