ubuntu - Can't install Windows 8 on new Hard Drive Sony Vaio



I have a Sony E14127CN laptop. Its hard drive crashed, so I bought a new Hitachi Travelstar 7K500 hard disk as a replacement for the old Toshiba MQ01ABD075. But when I try to install Windows 8, it says " windows cannot be installed to this disk. this computers hardware may not support booting to this disk ensure that the disks controller is enabled in the computers bios menu. " I don't have any such options in the laptop's bios menu. When I install Ubuntu on this laptop, it boots and works just fine. Please provide a solution for installing windows on this laptop.


Answer



try to connect you hdd to another PC (of same arc and CPU family), start the installation until first reboot, then plug the HHD back into your laptop, and finish the installation
