Solid-State Drives (SSD)

[grb]

the Windows 7 media includes the functionality to do a system image restore.

Yes..

Either you create a Windows 7 diagnostic disk when you create a image or you can use the Windows installation disk and select repair and then restore image option...

I just got mine a few days ago (M225 64 Go) : blank SSD not yet installed. How can I know if the firmware is 1571 or 1711 ? The PDF guide for installing firmware is blank : where can it be found ?

Thanks for all.

To see what firmware version you have, go to Device Manager, under "Disk drives" right-click -> Properties on the Crucial drive. Then access the "Details" tab and on the drop down menu (labeled Property) choose "Hardware Ids".

Thanks for answer ! However I hope a PDF install guide will come with the brand new firmware (Im a newbie... I never flashed a hard disk firmware).

I'm sure they'll provide a guide/walkthrough of some sort on their website.

There is a firmware update guide located here: http://images.crucial.com/pdf/productFlyer/ProductFlyer_M225-Firmware.pdf Crucial may yet revise it though. As the new firmware is likely to require some additional steps to get from v1711 back to v1571 (for those running v1711),

still no news, katana?
