On my wife managed to give my laptop the plauge so I decided to format it nd start again.
It's a samsung sens x170. Ultra portable so no DVD drive. No problem so I make a bootable USB using MS's app and start installing blanking all the partitions first to make sure I clear the viri she managed to find.
Now the problem, the installer says after I partition the disk that "windows can not be installed to this drive as it may fail soon" was nothing wrong with the drive when I scanned it before the format so I'm guessing a driver issue. But nobody sells x170s outside Korea.
Anybody got any ideas? A way to check the hd from a bootable USB? A good source for drivers?
I've had a dell fail on installation time and again because it needed so strange dell hard drive controller driver that was model specific, so I'm thinking this maybe the problem
