If I wanted to move the SSD to where the initial harddrive now sits and have the old harddrive in the secondary position with the flimsy cable (that I imagine might be slower than connecting it into the primary slot directly into the computer)would this cause any problem?
Another question I have is how do I create a bootable windows CD if I need to reinstall (of I ever find the SSD disc in the BIOS or windows) The Swedish support department referred to the AI-recovery program but that stops with a faulty burning process on the 3rd disc several times during multiple attempts to perform. Is there any other way to easily aquire a functioning bootable windows CD?
Installing a second harddrive shouldn't be that hard and even moving windows7 is apparantly not that complicated.

EDIT 2:
I have traded places with the two HHDs and then I could find the SSD. The problem seems to be related to the connection between the tape cable and the laptop. I'm not surprised since this is a really flimsy solution. The cable doesn't snap into place but I have to stick it there with a piece of tape.

"make sure to note in the end when he is attaching the cable to the MB you have to press down on the sides of the connecter to make it clench the cable. You might also have to pull them up before you put the cable in."
I don't seem to be able to do this. There is a small black plastic cover that rattles around but it seems to have no real purpose than protecting the entrance to the slot. If this indeed is used to secure the end of the cable somehow I would love to know if that is so.

I'll try another brand of DVDs and will stay happy in the knowledge that both connections are as fast. (It was always the same disc that ended up failing burning properly which made me mistake other errors than the DVD brand).
The reason I want a bootable CD is because I'm afraid I will fail in transfering the C: boot partition from my old HDD to the new SDD (which is my intent) and need to do a clean install instead. This is of course *if* I can get both drives to work.
To be honest I cant be sure which end is not working if any of them is. The one end that goes into the drive seem to have no connection mechanism at all and unlike others have described that their cable was adhered somehow to the adapter to fit unto the drive in bay 2, mine lay separate in a small plastic bag.

Moving the windows installation to the new SSD disk
I will now go on to pestering the forums of how to move my WIN7 partition to the SSD without reinstalling if possible. I am planning on using the Paragon program to move it hopefully in an easy way.

Does anyone know if this is a good program to use?
