    So you have done a clean install of Windows 7 on the SSD with no other drives connected at the time?

    Computiac, do you remember exactly what you did with the partition program?
    Found the disk I burned, it is Partition Wizard Mini tool.

    The date on it is 3.24.13 which means I used this when I moved the OS from the HDD to the SSD on the old HP machine.

    I did not use it on the clean install of the new machine at all. Sorry for the confusion on that.

    There was a problem after doing the first clean install, I lost some functions and could not get them back for some reason.

    Then I did a second clean install, because I did not have a repair disk at the time, and have been on it since. It did create a Windows Old file, which I deleted.

    So maybe there is really nothing on the 96MB partition since it shows as empty ?

    That would seem to be an upgrade, not a clean install

    Is this when you made a partition on the SSD?

    I just realized it, Dude is right. That seems to be more of a migration/image than a clean install of windows. I'd do a clean install. If you have a valid Windows 7 key, and you have your data backed up.......it will take about 12 minutes to reinstall windows. That is what I'd do.

    No, at the start, it stated all info on the drive would be lost, so I'm assuming it was formatted.

    OK, just checking, and please don't call me Sir. I'm not used to it. Paul never calls me that, a few other things, but never sir.

    You're probably going to have to go through the process with OCZ then.

    Ok you may need a firmware update I am trying to do the same atm with a OCZ drive you will likely need get it from here download and update for my drive I can't fix it unless I put another hard drive in it's place to do the update which is a son of a you know what OCZ Toolbox: Firmware & BIOS Updates

    No, I did not make any partition on the SSD, unless the Windows installation did it.

    I do have the Key.
    I have a Acronis backup, but how is it going to help ? Wouldn't I be putting the same thing back ?

    How will this take only 12 minutes ? What about all the programs ?

    COMPUTIAC, you did a restore from image. A clean install will fix it, but you will have to re install all your programs. I would do the clean install, re install your software, then do another image. I know it's a pain but it will solve your issues.

    How did I do a restore from image ?

    What image ?

    I used a disk I burned from downloading a ISO from Digital River.

    Please explain what I am missing here.
