Simpliest way to install new boot drive, SSD C: Drive crashed
My Corsair 240 GB SSD just crashed, as Boot C: on my games machine. I was lucky to be able to save most data I wanted to keep via my network before full failure. But Now I have a Crucial 960 GB SSD to replace it but am confused how to install it and reformat it as my boot C: drive .. when I cannot find (or maybe forgot to create) a boot disk ... I do have my original W7 install CD but that's all i got. Is there a simple way to create a boot dsk that will allow me to format my new SSD, to reinstall W7 ?? Will the BIOS allow me to do that ????
BTW, I performed a CHKDSK (fixed bad sectors) on my old SSD, which continually crashed to BSOD half way through, which i needed to reboot meaning CHKDSK would start again, never ending cycle (Hit any key to stop CHKDSK doesn't work because the keyboard is turned off when that happens, for some strange reason??). I hope CHKDSK is part of a AUTOEXEC.BAT and not the BIOS because I would hate to have this start over with my new SSD installed.
BTW, I pretty annoyed my Corsair only lasted 2 1/2 years, I realise it should be still under warranty but I want to upgrade to something bigger.
Anyhelp Appreciated.
