[off-topic] If you are thinking of booting from SSD...

[Jim Householder]

For those of you with dual-boot systems with MS, beware.
I just got a 120GB Silicon Power SSD, and find that Win7 does not 
recognise it for installation.

I used clonezilla to copy the Windows 7 partition to the new SSD but due 
to complicating factors like drive geometry, etc.etc. it would not boot. 
  I tried to use a Windows Backup System Image, but restore said no 
drive available.

Windows repair knows the partition is there and what is on it, but 
cannot fix it.  The restore side does not recognise it at all.  A fresh 
install fails as well, saying no drive is available.

Gentoo has no problem with the new SSD.

Silicon Power does not appear to have any SSD drivers on their website. 
  Hopefully somebody will come to the party...

Cheers,
Jim
