Did you get to the drive formatting stage of the install? If so, was the SSD drive listed?
Did you have any other drives connected? What distros did you try to install?
Not really
On the other hand, if you try to do so with Windows, yes, it is problematic/futile. However, the right Linux/BSD distro will revive and old machine and make it nimble and snappy.
Installing is usually very easy. |
I did come across that when searching for a solution but my SATA Configuration in the BIOS has only two choices, "ATA Mode" and "Off". During the install I could see the new drive, format it and partition it. It was the only drive installed at the time I tried the latest releases of Oracle Linux and CentOS, both multiple times with the same result.
