I have checked that the SSD is set to ‘unallocated space’ using a bootable partition tool (just to be sure that my tests did not screwed up the partitions). Also tried changing the control mode to IDE!ĭid also a bunch of tests trying to disable some settings on the Bios (audio, lan, etc) but no joy.īut all tests resulted on the same reboot loop. I have tried both GSATA (Marvell 6Gb/s) and SATA (P55 Intel 3 Gb/s) ports with identical results.Īlso I have tried other windows dvd, tried to install via flash drive, tried other optical drive, tried windows 8.1 and even tried windows 7.

To do this: Boot into BIOS, and set SATA to AHCI Mode. Symptom: When I boot to the windows 10 dvd, the windows logo shows, then that circle of circles start spinning, then the computer reboots (in loop). When you can’t install Windows 10 on SSD, convert the disk to GPT disk or turn off UEFI boot mode and enable legacy boot mode instead. 1 (firmware F14), and only the SSD and an optical drive are connected (I have disconnected my HDD temporarily). My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3P rev. I’ve been trying to do a clean install of Windows 10 for weeks (since before Christmas) on my new Sandisk Plus SSD 120 Gb.

Cannot install windows 10 on ssd
