Main installation/upgrade done. Win 7 installed in 8-10 minutes!

Unfortunately, ofc, it won't activate as I changed the motherboard - BS MS.

Will have to contact them grrr..

So, Win 7 fooked so thought had to reinstall.

Figured get an SSD if I was going to have to reinstall - make it worth it.

iLok breaks. Coincidence?

By time SSD arrives, Win 7 fixed so cloned HD to SSD.

SSD keeps dissapearing in mobo so try multiple fixes and in end figure mobo problem.

Buy new mobo and processor, spend whole evening setting up Win and all music apps (each with it's own unique activation process).

Win 7 won't activate.

Switch PC off annoyed.

Forgot to do something so turn back on.

SSD missing from BIOS.....

Its one of those things, if you have a spare hd, clone that ssd installation to it and activate the AHCI on the bios and... get a decent windows 7 already activated (you already bought so.. not really piracy) and check if things go.

Also, some bioses may feel stupid with ahci and some have tweaks for that, google mobo model and version with ssd, maybe you can find something.

Managed to get AHCI working finally - not sure why it failed during install.

Will monitor to see if SSD doesn't appear in BIOS again with AHCI enabled.

SSD is being returned

Going to stick to normal HD's for now - might get a second monitor instead

Damn, thats weird, prolly it has some malfunction, i've installed two of those here at work on server and they work pretty well with no glitches...

Second monitor is allways cool, nowadays I can't imagine working with only one, back at my previous work I had 4 on my desk
