New Rig Raid SSD Install.

Hey guys,

Looks like the last of my rig (minus the new SP fans I ordered but can live without them for a few days) will be here today.
Is there anything especially I should know as they will be my boot disk and obviously I have no OS installed at this time.

Board is an ASUS VI Formula.



Cheers...

Create a USB OS install disk.

When you do your install of OS have only the SSD connected to your motherboard no other disks at all.

So W8 not an option I can find. Do W7 then install over the top but not my preference.

Can I just set raid up then boot from DVD?

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only this official utility will download win 8 or 8.1 ISO and create bootable USB drive for you. You could install from DVD but it's faster and more reliable to do from USB 😛

Cheers all. Worked out fine just using the DVD 🙂

You can do a Win8 install using that method I have done so many many times 🙂
