Hi all!
Just got a refurb'd G73SW-1BTY from Newegg for a steal. Of course, there is no included recovery partition.
Seeing as I purchased a seperate 120gb SSD to throw in as my main OS drive, I'd like to do a complete wipe of the system and reinstall everything to run off the SSD.
I tried using a link that I saw someone (I think it was Chastity?) post to an ISO of the Win7 x64 but the link is not working. Can anyone help me out with this? Id like to start playing and tinkering with this tonight when I get home from work.
I appreciate any and all help, as well as any tips from you ROG veterans out there.
On a side note, Ive never installed an SSD or any hard drive in a lappy before. Anything I should be aware of? Is it pretty much plug and play? I took off the bottom cover and I can easily see where it goes. Should I switch the two drives around first (take out the HDD and put it in the open slot and put the SSD in place of it?) Does it matter? Also, do I need any seperate cables to hook the SSD to the motherboard (it doesnt look like I do, there are no ports on the SSD other than how it slides into the connection).
Sorry for the noob questions. Ive never had an SSD before.
Thanks so much everyone!
