Hey everyone,
I've been reading several guides on installing Windows 7 onto the msata drive of the 14 and using the HDD as extra storage. I will receive my laptop tomorrow so i plan on a fresh install for simplicity and i also have a 240GB msata lying in wait for installation.
My only real issue is what prior configuration in the bios will i have to do to the msata before running the install disk? As in, my plan is to boot up the laptop when i get it, setup windows 7 as preinstalled on the HDD with the 80gb msata cache. Check for any problems then when i'm happy, shut down and swap msata's and run install CD.
is it that simple? Given the msata was acting as a cache before this new attempt, what do i have to change in the bios to prepare it for using the msata as the boot drive? I heard i had to change its write speed or something but a clear point in the right direction would be most beneficial!
After all this, plain and simple, in the windows 7 setup, wipe and format both drives before install on msata leaving hdd as storage.
Cheers
