SSD and WEI

How can it be?

October 31, 2012 10:22:55 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

How can it be that I upgraded my SSD to a 256 GB sata III, upgraded my MOBO to a sata III, yet I get the same disk data transfer rate score as I did with a smaller sata II SSD on a sata II MOBO?  Even upgraded my power supply.

Oh, I neglected to set the BIOS to AHCI before installing my OS, so I'm in IDE mode, but so was the sata 2 SSD and sata 2 mobo.

He had me make a registry tweak:

 

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_Msahci

Change the "Start" value to "0"

Re-Boot into Bios and change to "AHCI"

Save, boot to Windows.

Your actual disk speed will improve over time as Trim is implemented. "

 

But then, I got the dreaded error:

"BOOTMGR is missing Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart"

 

So, I had to perform a start up repair.

 

Now my Windows 8 dual boot won't boot, but my main OS wait for it.........................................................wait for it..................................................

 

Windows 7 is saved....I can reinstall 8.

I'd send you a PM, but I'm afraid I'd be somewhere between ill-mannered and tasteless.......

 

In deference to the fact that this is a public forum, might I simply inquire; are you fuckin' simple minded or just shit stupid???

Since when has that stopped you? Send it, sweet cheeks, before I screw something else up.

If you're giving me shit for dual booting, it doesn't slow the boot process down that much (3 seconds, to be exact). 8 was on a platter drive, btw.

I'm not sure if you are flat silly to dual boot Win 8 or very, very brave to risk Yrag writing you a private message about how silly you are. (polite writing mode on)

You could get those two graphics scores up to max 7.9 like mine....cost me almost a grand, though...
