Hello good people.

I am having a difficult time trying to get Win 7 installed on a Lenovo Thinkpad T420.
This 1st install worked ok with a Dual Boot arrangement until an ill-advised  format on a free partition from windows made everything go haywire.

Issue is I did not care to create the recovery disks from the original install.

A week of trying online forum remedies has proved fruitless. Have backed up data via Live CD and are attempting a clean  install.

Regardless of which Win 7 disk I attempt to use, none seems to be able to find the HDD that I can access ok from Linux Live CDs.

Any advise is welcome.

Regards,
Mugo
