When i inplug my SSD it boots into the installation like it is supposed to do but i need to install it on my SSD. When i have connected my SSD i get the choice to boot in to Windows 7 or Memory Tool stuff.. The keys for the BIOS don't work with my SSD pluged in

Have you recently updated your BIOS? If not you might want to try that and see if it fixes the issue.

So, when you try to boot the machine, it shows no video output whatsoever, or the hotkeys that normally enter your BIOS don't work?

What is the error you get? Are you positive you can't access the BIOS?

Unplug the SSD and attempt to access the BIOS.

 

When i inplug my SSD it boots into the installation like it is supposed to do but i need to install it on my SSD. When i have connected my SSD i get the choice to boot in to Windows 7 or Memory Tool stuff.. The keys for the BIOS don't work with my SSD pluged in

>Tried a USB/alternative keyboard and see if that works..?<

^@Jeroen1322^

 

Also..

My mums laptop used to use F2 to enter bios, always worked without hardly a press..

Over a short time (2 months) I did a re-install and had to actually PRESS it in a bit , to get it to register.

Maybe yours needs a little more push?

When it gives you the choice to boot to Windows 7 or the Memory Diagnostic, if you choose Windows 7 shouldn't that bring you to the installation?
