<Defenestration> My computer makes no goddamn sense whatsoever lately.
<Defenestration> The start of all this was last night when my surge protector flipped off in the middle of applying a Win7 update during startup.
<Defenestration> It was so gone I couldn't even get it to boot in safe mode.
<Defenestration> So I decide to start over. I take my Win7 OEM dvd, pop it in, reboot. Only the 1 TB drive (1 TB and an SSD drive are what were installed) shows up, and states that Windows can't be installed to it. I can partition and format it, but deleting all the partitions has no effect.
<Defenestration> Checked the bios. Bios stated that both HDDs were not connected to any sata connector despite windows saying they were. The controller was enabled.
<Defenestration> I format the drives using another PC and disk manager. they both show up in the BIOS and the installer now. I install win7 and... well.
<Defenestration> There's all sorts of crazy bullshit. Drivers don't apply at random, then they do, I reboot after a glitch and it reads no boot drives except the DVD. I take a walk, come back, and with no changes at all it boots right to windows.
<Defenestration> etc.
<Defenestration> I'm thinking trash both of the HDDs, start over
