Disk read error on startup, right after installing Windows 7 on new SSD.

Laptop's hard drive died, I suggested buying an SSD to keep it for a bit longer.

Turns out, after much bickering, attempting from several computers, and even dabbling in Russian YouTube computer voodoo, the thing is adamant at refusing the drive. I've tested the drive, it works perfectly anywhere else.

Using a computer capable of installing the operating system is not the solution.

The Windows installer provides different errors.
One error that got me worried, was that the controller was unable to "start" the SSD. Odd wording.

I've plugged SATA 3 SSD's into SATA 2 boards before, with great success.

Why is this shit failing on me?

I've cross-tested in every imaginable way to try to exclude possibilities.

TL;DR:

Gay toaster is being a faggot

Is it even remotely possible that a drive controller, previously using an HDD, is incapable of using an SSD?

Are there workarounds?
I can't imagine a BIOS firmware update would do me any good, but I just can't believe that this would be a hardware issue.

Is a two year CompTIA certificate from my local community college worth anything?

I've just used xmodmap to switch tab & backslash/pipe, and suggest you do the same. the keycaps are even the same size, for the non touch typers amongst us ;~)

navigation keys live on the right side of the keyboard. home, end, arrow cluster, pg up/down—all of these are right-hand keys. so why is tab on the left with the modifiers? it doesn't make any sense. try my change. you just might like it

building a mid range budget PC that I hope can last for a while build is mostly based off a build by austin evans

Intel Core i5-6500
Gigabyte H170M-DS3H
AMD RX 480 (this card is usually out of stock so i was thingking of replacing with the MSI gaming version slightly more expensive but whatever)
Corsair 100R
8GB Corsair Vengeance
240GB Crucial BX200
1TB WD Black
500W EVGA PSU
Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST

I was hoping to change the case since the regular cosair one is kinda bland this would be my first time building a computer so thoughts on it would be appreciated

How did this happen?

What can I do with this? I was told I could stream new movies, watch NFL Network, and more (for free).

I just need to 'crack' it.

FUCK!

I just removed all non-free packages from my GNU+Linux, and now the system runs like shit.

Can you help me write an email describing my problem to RMS, one word at a time?

What does /g/ think is the next step in computing? Will we see 32-bit CPUs with 64-bit extensions bolted on with 128-bit extensions bolted onto those, or will we finally move away from x86 altogether?

Also, daily reminder that Intel actually tried to move on from x86 once, and AMD is the reason we're still on it.
