Can't install Windows 7: error 0x80300024
Hello everyone.
Today I've been trying hard to install Windows 7 using bootcamp.
Here is my setup:
Mac Book Pro mid-2010 13" with OptiBay:
- 256GB OCZ SSD (Main drive)
- 500GB Hard drive (original drive that came with the mac)
- USB DVD drive (orignal one that came with the mac that got replaced by a drive with OptiBay).
So I've started Boot Camp assitant, went through the setup process and created a second partition of 50GB on my main drive (the SSD). After that, I rebooted my computer and booted in the Windows installer. Everything was fine, until Windows setup said "Windows cannot be installed on this drive. Error 0x80300024".
I have done a bit of research on the internet, and people claim that the solution is to disconnect all your other drives because Windows gets confused. Fair enough, except, how on earth am I supposed to do that? The drives are inside my laptop; I'm not going to unscrew the drives out of my computer, that's silly.
Do you guys have any idea on what I should do now?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
