I dont understand. Everytime i start the laptop, my HDD activity is at 100% for at least a good 10 minutes before it goes to normal. And in this 10 minutes, everything is lagging.

I did monitor my task manager, and i've also googled up the few applications thats hogging the HDD activity and they all seem to be pretty important services. Example: Service Host, Antimalware Executable, System..etc

anyone else experience this? or is there something wrong with my HDD

Great news!!!

I finally managed to boot to the USB cd-rom and successfully installed win7 pro onto the SSD after trying on different bios setting and also different USB ports to connect the USB cd-rom.


   

I bought 2 units of 5460 for my kids early 2013 and I'm thinking of getting the 5470 version before yearend closing for tax rebate purposes coz i didn't claim it when I bought for my kids back in 2013.

And I was thinking of replacing the HDD with SSD for both speed and weight. Will it work? I have no problems with weak wifi card coz there plenty of adapters out there.
