I wasn't just talking about just installing Windows any idiot can do that, but how many people change and understand BIOS settings.
As I am sure alot of muppets don't enable AHCI or disable their RAID controllers or disable other completly useless features, manage their fans controllers correctly etc...

I also have the Dark Rock and didn't find it that difficult to install, although I have not done many that are worse.
I just wish they were all as easy as the Intel stock cooler.

My fans are on the Turbo Setting (due to my Overclock). I am pretty familiar with BIOS Settings and fairly competent with those. My issue is that if my Overclock settings Profile gets erased from my BIOS im pretty screwed as I dont know what the settings are!

For me it was just a case of enabling AHCI and the XMP memory profile, and that was that. Anything more advanced can be done at a later date.

Getting the build up and running really wasn't that difficult. Google is always there to help.

Either way the drive is not functional, and you should be getting a replacement that works. End of.

I know exactly what is wrong with your HD.

You don't need to send it back at all you just need to partition it.

Download Teamviewer and I can do it for you or google it how to do it within Windows.

Oh right, I forgot about this. You need to use the Computer management tool and use disk management.
 
Well good luck with your build SteelHorse.
I am off on holiday for 2 weeks now, but I am sure you won't have any problems at all.
 
You could but for that price, you're only getting a 64GB SSD. Put Windows 7 on it and you're down to 50GB or so. Then there's swap files etc, it's just not enough. Better to keep the 1TB drive as a data/games drive and buy the SSD as a Windows OS drive.
 
Was gonna say Dagsy that my 120GB SSD is half used up with Windows 7 and all my apps installed on it lad.
