Good evening,

I decided to upgrade the HDD in my laptop (Asus R510LD) with a fancy SSD (Crucial MX100 256GB), and I encountered some problems.

I know how to physically install the ssd in my laptop and everything but now I don't know how to install windows on it. I do not have a windows disc and I cannot put 2 drives in my laptop at the same time (so cloning the windows installation from the hdd to the ssd won't work).

I have a 64GB usb drive to use with installing windows, but now I don't know how to continue.

Anyone know how this can be done?
Thanks in advance!

The HDD is 750GB and is devided in 2 partitions. Only 29GB is used (I just did a clean reinstall). And I do happen to have such a connector at home.

EDIT: I managed to get it working. Thanks for the help!
