Product: hp compaq dc7800p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello, i just put a brand new kingston sata ssd in my computer. Now im trying to install windows 7 64bit to this pc but get error "windows cannot be installed to this disk'. When i click on this i get message "windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controlleris enabled in the computer's BIOS menu". I checked the BIOS but there is no option for AHCI, only IDE and RAID. Forgot to mention earlier i had windows 7 32bit installed on this pc with a 2TB hdd and my inbuilt VGA port was not working, so i installed a VGA card in it which was auto-detected. Now, i removed the HDD and put a brand new SSD and want to install windows 7 64 bit on it but getting this error. Someone help?
