I recently encountered a BSoD and chose to reinstall Windows as my previous version was quite outdated. While setting it up (after formatting), the installation failed and now every time I attempt to install Windows 7 I receive this warning: This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Make sure the disks controller is activated in the system's BIOS settings. Here are my details. CPU: Intel i3240 @3.4Ghz GPU: GTX 650 Memory: Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA 5Gbps RAM: Not precisely confirmed... Kingston 4GB 798MHz dual channel (still unsure). The motherboard is a few days old, and the rest of the system components are around one year old.

The cable looks okay and is connected properly. I even swapped out the cables, but nothing changed :c

The specifications indicate a maximum clock speed of 1333MHz. This is the upper limit for performance; if your system runs smoothly at this speed, it’s likely fine.

Have you tested the HDD on another computer? You can format it as NTFS and attempt it once more.

Unfortunately, I only have that PC and my old laptop, so no.
