    I swapped out my HDD for a Samsung 840 EVO SSD, and migrated my OS using Samsung's Data Migration Program. I had Visual Studio 2013 installed with the Windows Phone SDK 8.0, and I was able to run all emulators normally on the HDD. However, the emulators will not start on my SSDs, and I'm getting the message "hypervisor isn't running". I have hardware virtualization enabled on my BIOS, is it just that the emulators won't run on the SSD?

    You miss the BCD entry to load the Hyper-V driver. Open a command prompt as admin and run this command:

    bcdedit /set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype auto

    reboot and the Hypervisor driver is loaded.

    Can't install windows 7 on SSD drive
  • André Alçada Padez

    I am trying to install windows 7 Ultimate 64bits on an OCZ SSD Agility 3 60GB, and the drive isn't recognized in the disk management utility of windows instalation.

    I just bought an Intel Motherboard DH67CL, and an Intel Core i3 processor. My Bios was just updated...

    If i run windows on a normal HDD, it recognizes my SSD drive, no problem... does anyone know what the problem is?

    This seems to be about a similar issue so it might be worth a look. It describes an issue with installing Windows onto a disk with an invalid MBR/boot sector where Windows won't install.

    This is the suggested resolution:

    1. Boot up Windows 7 disc.

    2. When the welcome screen comes up on Windows Setup, press Shift + F10, which will display a command prompt.

    3. Type diskpart and press enter.

    4. Type list disk and press enter.

    5. Hopefully you can see your SSD in the list. You should see a number identifying it. Now type select disk X (where X is the number identifying your SSD) and press enter.

    6. Type clean and press enter. This will write a blank MBR, YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA ON THE SSD if you did have anything on it.
