Its kind of unclear whats going on here.

Just put in the installation CD and change your boot settings in bios so you have CD in first place.

i ask what be best drive for me to use because i did go in a bios before .
all i know after reading a lot about ssd drive to get the wax speed you have to go in the bios and it to [ahci].
so i dont know if i should use the 10000 .
if it is the same vista clean install like it is on a plain drive

OH. I think I understand now.

Yes, the new SSD should be the exact same as doing a clean install of windows.

yes this is what i wanted to know .this drive here[Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2BAA 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
so i will get the full speed right .well not all because my mobo only have the 3 gb not not the 6 gb connection .
so this will be faster then the 10000 right .
this is a really good ssd drive

Thats not a true ssd winner.

The winner is my laptop boots up in under 30secs with one, and over 2 minutes with a regular drive.

That time is a total startup, not just to useable state. Also programs like Word and games open in an instant too.

well the one that am talking above is the one i use now .
the drive is wd 500 black caviar 7200.
i boot in 60 secs .i did try it 2 day ago from pushing on the power swicth to my desktop
i just did on word icon and no time to count to one .so this is not slow for a 7200

now directro in texas just did ship my 10000 drive .
this is my last time i buy from them .the shipping is to slow
5 day before they ship but in the policy they have on it mention all order place before 2 p.m are ship the same day [bull ]
now they did ship my 500 drive on the 14 and never receive it yet .
so that is a least 3 weeks am way to old to wait that long
all this to save about 20.00 .no more this is it with them .
99 % i buy from newegg.ca .
they ship some time a fews hr you put in your order .but is done in a day .no more
now if your order is ship from nj .3 day at my door .
this really fast .but some of the item are ship from ca .so that is 10 day to my door .
but only about 10 % are ship from ca .like light .laser light .all the small stuff
