Can I install on non-bootable SSD?
Hi there all - have a problem using an SSD on my Dell Laptop.
In short - exchanging the internal drive with an SSD is a real hastle due to the way this paricular laptop is built so i am exploring for an easier solution.
I have purchased an adapter that holds a drive or SSD and fits instead of the DVD drive. When connected windows from the main drive recognise it as second drive and all is hanky-dory
the issue is that i want to install windows on the SSD but the SSD is not recognised as bootable by the BIOS and after seeing it is a common issue with no solution on many web pages i have left wondering if there is a way of booting windows from thehard drive but somehow diverting it to the SSD - maybe hard linking all system files or something...
any creative solutions out there?
