While the motherboard manual notes that "certain things" pertaining to the USB 3 drivers preloaded are required to install Win 7 on my sabertooth Z170 S, it isn't entirely clear as to why.
I ran into a snag for installation on my SSD when the storage space selection screen comes up. I wanted Windows to create a UEFI installation, but it looked as though it created the legacy MBR partition with "System Reserved" and the rest of the drive as another volume. Not sure what I need to tweak in BIOS to get that to work.
But immediately, Win Setup throws up an "!" note saying that it cannot install to my disk, with the error code 0x80300001.
Some advice suggests I should move the SATA cable from port 6 to port 1, which I will very shortly do.
Does anyone have some pointers or tips on this process so I can save a little time?
I'm not creating any RAID arrays and the BIOS is set up for AHCI.
