I needed to do such a simple job, to install a new OS on the car computer. The reason was that the old drive had died due to a combination of very low temperatures and being shaken up whilst driving. So I bought a shiny new solid state drive and tried to run the install to it from a USB drive. Making the USB drive was fairly easy as Microsoft have produced a piece of software that automates the whole thing. So, yesterday, off I went to install to the new drive installed in the camper. Total failure. The complaint was that NTLDR was missing. As I was installing Win7 that doesn't use NTLDR, this was farcical. So today, I have been obliged to bring the drive to work, insert it into a laptop and run the install from a disc. I was impressed with the speed, about forty minutes from beginning to end including a full format on a 64GB drive, but regretted the necessity for it. I will re-build the carputer this evening and install the drivers and hardware again.
