    I'm just curious about how it works

    My first post was about the HDD not being detected by Windows 7 because it was SATA and I had no SATA controller drivers for my m/b, that's why I don't want to go through scouring the internet for drivers for the SSD online

    I've not seen a SATA driver yet that Win7 doesn't have. IDE maybe, but SATA are all in the installer.

    The error about needing drivers when booting the installer is almost always a bad installer.
