    Hi. I've finally managed to install a clean UEFI Win8 install (without all the bloatware), but to do so I had to put the HDD configuration to AHCI in Bios. If I try putting it to raid now my PC won't boot. However, does it really matter? I have the 128 GB version which is made up of two smaller ~60 GB SSDs, and when my PC was fresh out of the box it had one 120 GB partition. Thus it couldn't be running raid 0 or raid 1, as both would've shrunk the partition to half the size.

    Also, is there any way to get the features that come with the PC, such as the battery reset switch? The partition that was dedicated to it got deleted sometime through the process, and I'm not sure if the switch works now. Same with Acer fastboot (but I think this might work because of UEFI).

    Thanks!
