Bane of my existence: http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Reco...d-p/605569
Basically, I wasn't aware of this Advanced Format thing... got the A135-S4467 off ebay. Bought a 500Gb WD Blue drive off New Egg. Bought recovery media from Toshiba.
Go to install everything, looks good... get the initializing firs time thing. End result...
Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware.
-------
From what little research I have found it is because I am trying to use an Advanced Format drive, which apparently the one I got is...

The suggestions to fix this all had to do with RST drivers or some such crap. Well apparently I am still doing something wrong as no matter what I do I come up with he hardware thing.
All that being said, it said the whole driver thing can be avoided by enabling AHCI or I think IDE in the BIOS. Well the 1.10 phoenix bios currently on this system has no such setting.
By some miracle I landed here and am seeking help in getting a Phoenix Bios for the A135-S4467 that will allow me to enable AHCI so I don't need any [censored] drivers and can FINALLY use these recovery media discs I ordered from Toshiba along with the HDD I bought, linked above, and get a working system as I desperately need it or my job.

Edit: I would love it too that when a BIOS is provided for testing that someone, with great detail, steps out (1, 2, etc.) how I can flash the bios with the lowest chance of bricking which seems to be from prompt using a bootable USB which I do not have but have a drive I can make one from.
