    Question about installation


    Hi, I've followed this tutorial and its working great. SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

    I did have a question though about reinstalling from a windows created reinstall DVD. After creating the partitions and exiting Diskpart how do I tell it to install my OS to a particular partition?

    I have another problem. The disk I'm installing from is one that I created when this machine was new. When I get to the system recovery option dialog, which option do I need to select? When I select System Image Recovery it says "Windows cannot find a system image on this computer" and "Attach the hard disk". If I cancel that and hit "next" it asks for a location or to install a driver for the DVD. If I hit the advanced button and then "install driver" it brings up the system 32 folder. How do I find the driver for my DVD from that folder?
