I bought SSD to run windows on,
The SSD is an 128GB Samsung PM871 2.5'
I have m4a88t-m / usb3 Motherboard
I disconnected the regular HDD driver and connected the SSD instead
When i turned the pc on i get this error " 4th master hard disk error "
I tried to replace the SATE entry and the only thing that changed was the error message "3rd master hard disk error"
The first and second entrance of the SATA give me "3rd master hard disk error"
The third and fourth give me " 4th master hard disk error "
I tried different SATA cables.
I read a bit and I saw that I need to change in bios to ACHI soon as I change this option the SATA connection fifth and sixth didnt work, and I do not see them anymore in bios (because of that i used only in the first 4 connections)
whan I am in bios I can see motherboard recognize the ssd drive but in the boot option is not found.
I connect the SSD and try to install Windus from usb drive but when I choose the driver to install on the windows have the following error:
"we can not create a new partition or locate an existing one."
I connected the drive to a laptop computer that I have at home and it works even installed a windows 10 on it and for some reason my desktop computer have problems
And if I press F1 to continue ignoring the problem the SSD wont boot and the pc tell me to choose a bootable driver.
And I saw a video on YouTube that someone connected SSD drive to a computer with the same motherboard and the only thing he changed is AHCI in the bios.
i looked for it and i read that my motherbord sports ssd drivers.

Thank you for the help
