Originally posted by EvilMix No. But if you want to run Windows8 and maybe play some game off it you should 1. update firmware on your SSD 2. format and partition 3. install the OS and keep your 1tb HDD as backups. |

Originally posted by Epic1oots Really take some time to read how to install SSD firmware. Read multiple links that you googled, especially for your SSD's manufacturer such as OCZ. Installing crap all willy-nilly can end up not doing much at all or just having things not work. Like a 1000 dollar PC for example :p Seriously, there's guides all over for how to do this. Google them, read through carefully. El Psy Congroo |

http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/5483306#5483306 Ah, you got a refurbished SSD. I didn't catch that before. I wonder if you just found the reason why the previous person returned it. The previous person might have taken a perfectly good SSD and done something to mess it up, even. Here's the forum thread if you want to try flashing to the latest firmware: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=110257 Alternatively, you could contact NCIX about returning it as defective. |

Everything is good now, but when I start up Windows it shows me two Volumes of which to run Windows off of, one of them doesn't work, the other does. I'm just happy everything is running now, should I do anything else with the SSD? Or is it good now? (P.S. Windows is running off of my SSD now as my main hard drive)

Originally posted by EvilMix I think you want to get the SSD fixed or replaced or whatever, and then install Windows on the SSD. |
