Additional Install Tips for Error: 0x80300001

1. Ensure your primary HDD is not attached to an eSATA port
2. Ensure your SATA Controller is set to AHCI or RAID mode
3. Ensure you do not have your CD/DVD/BlueRay Drive attached to your SATA 3 or eSATA controller. This drive type should only be connected to the SATA 2 controller.
4. If you are using a SATA 3 HDD on a SATA 3 controller then do not use a hard drive enclosure casing. One type of enclosure is ICYDOCK. This will cause HDD instabilities and system crashes.
5. You may need to load drivers for the SATA 3 controller especially for RAID configurations. Load the drivers from the motherboard CD, or USB memory stick. You can download the latest most up-to-date SATA/RAID drivers from www.station-drivers.com This web site typically lists newer drivers than what would be listed by your motherboard manufacturer.
