This way I will do for sure. As far as computers can be said to "make sense", this way (reduce the number of variables) makes sense, at least in a logical world.If you want to flash the BIOS (to get it to the most recent version I would presume?) then there is no reason why you can't do it with no drives attached. It's a "can't hurt, might help" situation.

Whoa! What the heck ever happened to just connecting the SSD and the optical drives, popping in my installation disk and just sitting back?
Not saying you're wrong and I will indeed do what you tell me - just curious.
