To remove the system reserved partition, you need to partition your SSD/HDD first, then install Windows on it. There are guides for it that you can google up.

Completed my MBP 2011 upgrade in an hour.

Upgrade RAM to 8GB (Kingston KTA)
Install new SSD Intel 520 180G in SATA III
Install existing HDD Hitachi 500GB 7200RPM in SATA II OptiBay
Clean installation of Mountain Lion
Copy user data from Lion in Hitachi HDD

Boot into ML in 7 secs. Most of the applications launch in less than 3-4 secs.
Instantaneous web surfing using Safari 6

Truly amazed by ML + SSD

hi guys,

I have updated my Mac mini 2011 to 8 GB RAM and Corsair 120GB Force 3 SSD. and then I got an other Corsair 120GB Force 3 as a gift. Do you think that is worth to spend RM280 to buy 1 more sata cable then install second SSD on my Mac mini?

thx

I mean I have 2 SSD Corsair force 3 120GB, at the moment im using 1, if I want to use 2SSD in raid 0, I have to spend RM280 for sata cable. Is that very difference between 1 SSD and raid 2 SSD? It is worth for RM280?

My Crucial M4 512GB

Has anyone here contributed any space to over provisioning for their SSDs?

I'll wait for the 256GB models to reach <RM350. Price, please keep dropping. At this rate christmas sale should have something within my range.
