The OS won't install for some reason.
You’ve experienced some frustrating issues with your recent SSD installation. It seems the system struggles when trying to reinstall windows after removing the drive. After proper setup on the USB, you usually reach a normal step but then encounter problems like seeing a SATA 0 message or restarting the install. The situation is confusing because your HDD appears to be damaged, preventing boot even though the installation process completes successfully. You’re wondering if the problem lies in the SSD installation itself after removal, or if there’s an issue with the motherboard’s boot order. It might also relate to how the ISO file was handled or whether another component is interfering with the boot sequence.
I kept following the directions and that's all I was instructed to do, so I'm not sure.
