No USB to Sata cable with new SSD purchase , other ways to install.
Hello, i bought a SSD and to my shock it didn't come with a USB to Sata cable and the directions clearly say i need one to get my laptop to recognize the new drive before i take out the old one (a 5400 HDD that came with laptop).
The box even says for mobile and desktop PC's but the hardware is for a Desktop only . Computer is an Asus U56E running Win 7 SP1 64 bit and the new SSD is a 240 gig model .
I suppose i need to purchase a USB to sata cable to install it the right way since the directions show and instruct that is the way to do it .
I do have a system image of my entire system on an external drive and was wondering if it's possible to just take the old one out and put in the new SSD and use the system image .
Any feedback is appreciated
