This was the only way for me to get the installation setup to work again on my computer. Whatever was there in my HDD, i was able to format it. It said like 232.9GB capacity, 232.8GB free space. I hooked back on the other computer to see what was still on it n nothing was. Remember, the installation setup has a format button n i used that on it n another HDD in case i dont get this one working.
i am thinking that since i flashed BIOS from 1.1 to 1.3 n after reactivating Windows, my BIOS stays at 1.3, thus my installation doesnt recognize it. That is my guess.
EDIT:
my OS is an OEM product; says in my sig.
