How to make sure the OS it stored in the SSD?
*
As cache disk? Reboot Windows many times so it will store most frequent used files as cache.

As boot drive? Disable Acceleration in Intel Rapid Storage (RST), reformat your mSSD with Window Disk Management(or any partition software u use) and install MBR into it. After that you can install clean Window 7/8 into your mSSD.

Did you use Win7 with Service Pack 1 disk when installing? hmm.gif

Can try refer to this thread. Although its not the same model or even brand but i think the way it work is similar.

My touchpad left button is normal, sounds quiet and just like my right button.
My backspace also has a weird squeaky sound but not loud enough to irritate me.

Guys, any idea how to force Media Player Classic to use the HD7730M card to play videos? It is using Intel now and even though I set mpc-hc.exe to high performance in Catalyst Control Centre, it is still using Intel to play.

My 1080p ts files are not smooth enough sad.gif

U sure its running on HD4000 or MPC-HC doesn't utilize it at all?
Even my Intel HD3000 can play TS file smoothly except when i use MadVR output. hmm.gif

guys, how to make sure if we run the game with ATI graphic card instead of intel onboard card? hmm.gif

edit: ok now i got it. just go to "catalyst control center" -> power -> switchable graphic card method -> choose select the graphic card manually. now i can safely run all my games with ATI graphic card.  thumbup.gif  coz the auto detect apps one seem not working for me eventho i already select "high performance" option. sweat.gif

Use Window 7 with SP1 to install. You can download the ISO and burn as DVD or make a bootable Pendrive.

Save all the hassle from installing the driver manually by using Win7 with SP1 installer/iso/disc. doh.gif

Installing windows on a laptop with msata SSD is not the same as the normal procedure... Of course we know have to use Windows 7 ISO/DVD doh.gif

doh.gif That's why you don't understand what my steps were all about... It's not about the drivers, because if you don't follow the steps, you can't even boot into windows 7 (Yes, I used SP1). BSOD will 100% occur during the startup of windows logo.

And HDD won't show up DURING windows installation (regardless of SP1 or not) when you boot into the DVD. Need to pop in the driver CD (i stated in the steps) to make the HDD available.

Really? Because i've reformat an Envy 4 and U310 using SP1 without any problem. When i use older disc without SP1 tho, it prompted no HDD detected. Both have 32GB mSSD as cache.

Got the 14r SE yesterday, and changed the HDD to a 128GB SSD. No issues except that BF3 seems to crash randomly. But I think it might be due to the GT640M overheating (using HWMonitor it reached up to 90 celcius). I wonder if it's driver issue

With or without cooling pad bro? hmm.gif
