I have a dell XPS 420. a moment ago the hard drive went out on the desktop (error message: Error auto sensing 2ndary master hard disk drive) . I bought a substitute hard drive which is Seagate 3TB Barracuda High Performance. I installed the hard drive totally deleting the old one. The fresh HD came with a SATA cable so just to be secure I used that cable in its place of the SATA cable that was previously in the system. I started Win 7 from the disk and attempted to install the Operating System. I have tried a usual installation and a custom installation is not worked. Through the custom installation I make certain that the drive is formatted with partitions, but towards the end of the set up I obtain "Windows installation could not configure hardware on this computer's." Windows Setup then tells me to start again only to accept the similar message. Is there something I could do?
