hi i just bought a crucial realssd c300 and i read up on alot of forums that said i needed to enable AHCI mode first before installing windows on the ssd, the problem is, on vaio laptops the BIOS menu is very limited, i could only change the date and time, boot order, and turn intel virtualization technology on, i have a vaio cb series that was just recently released, i checked to see if TRIM was enabled in the cmd and it was.
what i am planning to do is to install the os and some programs on the ssd and buy a hard drive caddy for the dvd slot to use my hdd that came with the laptop for storage of music and stuff, can i just install the os on the ssd and then format the hdd and just plug it in, would it be recognized as a hard drive then or do i have to change some settings first in order to use it as a hard drive?
any help on both questions would help me alot
