Hi,
I recently decided to download the Windows 7 beta and install it on a partition. I used Acronis to partition my hard drive, which is 500gb in to a 450gb segment and a 50gb segment. This seemed to go ok, as I could then select either 'disk' under 'My Computer'. So far ok.
The problem occurred when I restarted to computer, told it to boot from the disk and install the OS. It came up with the correct screen etc, and I told it to install from the 50gb partition. However, when it tried to restart , it didn't seem to detect the hard drive anymore, and just hangs on the bit when it would usually detect it.
Does anyone have an idea how to get it to detect? I don't care so much about the drive as the photo's and music than is in it!!
Thanks
