    No not yet - do you think it's still worth doing? How do I find out manufacturer? All I know is it's 64gb MLC SSD SATA....

    Looks like an SSD failure as I had suspected from the beginning.

    It would be best to create a separate 30 gig (approximate) active partition in the beginning of the hard disk and name it C. If you do not want a 100 megs System Reserved Partition to be foisted on you during installation then please do not leave any unallocated on the disk.

    Installing Windows 7 is a breeze and takes place almost unassisted.

    Good Luck

    OK so I've ran the advanced memory test with 7 passes and no errors so I tried unplugging my SSD and trying to boot with just my HDD in and low and behold I got to the install windows page.Does that indicate it is the SSD thats failed?
    What next....do I need to create a partion on the HD as I've not installed windows on the disk before? If anyone has a link to that guide would be useful...

I left my computer asleep. When I awoke it, it froze up, so I restarted it and it told me I had a disk boot failure, insert boot disk. If I reboot, and press f8 to get a boot menu from the bios, I can select the drive that has windows on it. If I do not intervene beyond this, it will boot to...
