installing a SSD to Lap Top confusses me
here's the procedure I was reading
http://www.newegg.com/Product/CategoryIntelligenceArticle.aspx?articleId=291#topic2
I thought the OS was on the HDD that is being removed so how doe's the LT recognize the new SSD w/ the HDD removed?
or after the LT recognize's the new SSD is this when the fresh copy of win7 on a DVD is installed?
 
Notebook Computers:
Power off the computer. You may leave the power cable connected.
Remove the notebook battery.
Unscrew and remove the hard drive panel. (Refer to your computer owner's manual.) It there is a tab on the existing hard drive, gently pull it up and then remove the hard drive from the bay.
Align the SATA connector pins on the SSD with the SATA connector in the drive bay.
Slide the SSD firmly against the SATA connectors in the drive bay.
Reattach the drive panel and screws.
Reinstall the battery.
Turn on the power and wait for the OS to recognize the new SSD.
 
Thanks STB
