I have a Samsung NP530U3B with a Hitachi HTS545050a7e380 Harddrive. In the Bios it shows as one drive
Hitachi hts545050a7e380
When I try to install Windows 7 it show 2 drives in the setup
Drive 0 with 15 GB
Drive 1 with 460 GB
Guess it is a hybrid of SSD and normal harddrive, right? I tried to install it on the second drive, but after restarting it goes back into the beginning of the Windows 7 installation. The installation routine automatically activated a 100 MB partition on Drive 0. I guess for the bootmanager.
Second try: Installation on the 15GB drive. The same. After reboot it wants to install win7 all over again.
If I remove the USB Stick I get the message "Missing operation system"
Any ideas?
