Answer» Ah yea .
This Fractal case design is very badly made. You cant even but the hard drives on the MOUNT on the side they say the wires interfere with the front fan.I'd say it's a very nicely designed case (just fairly small), if your hard drive cables are getting in the fan then you are mounting the drives the wrong way around, the connectors should face towards the back of the PC.
You still have time to return it for a larger case if required.Na all fixed with a little BIT of modification.
Next problem I have it's not reading the SSD. I turn it on, it boots to where my old windows 7 was in the hard drive (I'm going to use that one as a Linux drive). I turn it off then unplug the drives (but leave the SSD) then an message says press any key and doesn't do anything :-/.
I told it to boot via SSD in the BIOS but still no luck.OK change what I have said.
It's not letting me boot from SSD. So I boot from the DVD it works fine. I go past the code part of it, then the license accept, then type of installation (I choose Upgrade from advanced), but now it comes up with a compatibility REPORT saying:
"The computer started using the Windows installation media. Remove the installation media and reset your computer so that Windows starts normally. Then insert the installation media and restart the upgrade. (Do not select ICustom (advanced) I to perform an upgrade ICustom (advanced)I installs a new copy of windows an d deletes your programs and settings). "
I assume the media is the DVD? If so I restart put that back in and it takes me back to the code and the same process I did before...
When you select upgrade it is trying to upgrade the existing copy of Windows 7 that is on the hard drive. When installing Windows 8 I would recommend unplugging the other hard drive and selecting a "Custom" install which will let you pick the SSD. You can then later reconnect the hard drive and install Linux.OK all done and installed !
Thank you soo much for your help. I now have a much quieter computer !
I have a slight problem that i cannot find my 1TB HDSweet! Enjoy!
Quote I have a slight problem that i cannot find my 1TB HD
Does it show up in the BIOS ? ?
Have you checked in Disk Management ? ?
Is there an OS installed on it ? ?Yes I can see it in the BIOS.
No what do I need to do to do that?
There isn't an OS installed on it. I havn't touched it yetRight clik My Computer...select Mange...then Disk Management...
From there you can rite clik the HDD select Properties for clues...If new it's likely not formatted or allocated...all that can be done from Disk Management.
Allocate 1st...then format NTFS...Fab all done.
Now I need to Move all my documents, pictures and others to be saved on to the 1TB drive. What do you suggest I should doI use and recommend TeraCopy for large file transfers...Ok thanks, how do I make it so everything from My Documents, My Pictures etc. or programs (but maybe a few will go on the SSD) save to the HDD?
