Problem Installing Windows 7 on SSD

Question

Microsoft

Good afternoon.
To fully understand the problem, I will describe a little background.

At the end of August 2012, I bought an ultrabook from Samsung 530U3C (i5 Ivy Bridge, 500GB HDD + 24 SSD). Everything was fine and wonderful somewhere until April 2013. Then problems began to appear - a long system boot, five-minute friezes, the hard drive began to crackle and make noise much louder. I tried resetting to factory settings, everything was fine for a couple of days, and then everything returned to normal. The system boot took about an hour. I realized that things would not go on like this and it was time to change something, unfortunately, the box and the warranty receipt were successfully lost somewhere in the wilds of the student hostel, so it was decided to purchase a new hard drive.
The choice fell on SSD Kingston V300 120GB. Well, now it will be just Agony! I thought. Having installed a new disk, it's time to find a Win7 distribution, preferably without any "tweaks" and other improvements by some craftsmen. Having shoveled a lot of torrents (what am I doing wrong? where can I get a normal image from?) I seem to have found a suitable option. Downloaded, made a bootable flash drive.

We start the laptop, the installation has gone. There were no problems or at least warnings during the installation process. Fine! But it was not there. After the installation is completed, the system goes into reboot (at this time I remove the USB flash drive) iii ... And nothing. I see everything the same window, they say, select the device from which to start and one option is my SSD. I choose it - the reaction is zero, the screen is updated, the system does not start.

After that, there were a couple more attempts to install the system, with different configurations in the BIOS - on / off AHCI, fast boot, and so on. No success.

Dear habrausers, can you suggest something? Because I don’t even know which way to google (the only thought that occurred to me was the lack of drivers for the SSD, but after smoking the forums I realized that this thought could be cut off).

PS Options for connecting this SSD to another PC should not be offered. There is absolutely no other PC at hand :)
PS2 I tried to install WIn8, but it's still sadder, there is only an 8GB flash drive, and this is not enough for the eight.

Answer 1

1. So you changed the HDD to an SSD, but what about the soldered 24GB SSD? Perhaps he continues to think that he works as a second cache? Or the system is looking for a UEFI boot partition on it.
2. Standard advice, boot from any fresh live linux, the same ubuntu fits on a 2GB flash drive, check both disks (24GB and a new ssd). Format a 24GB disk or just put linux there (required with UEFI), see how it works. If everything is alive, install windows with an eye that there are two disks, or read how they put it on machines with ExpressCache or whatever it is called.

Answer 2

The problem is in the UEFI area (105MB at the beginning of the disk) - it is on the old hdd, without it, respectively, it will not work.

Answer 3

Options:
1. Crooked image.
2. Defective SSD.
I myself recently changed the hard drive, not the SSD though, to a Dell Inspiron N7010. I found and downloaded the W7 Home Premium image, which was on the old hard drive. Installed from DVD, but the old key did not fit for activation. And the solution to the problem with activation (note that the OEM version legally purchased with a laptop!)
