    Has anyone been able to successfully upgrade the 500GB HD in the Lifebook UH572 to an SSD?

    I tried putting in an Intel SSD but can't get windows 7 to boot from it.

    Manually loaded drivers during install but Windows won't create the 100mb system reserved partition on the drive (it will create it on the on-board 32gb ssd but still doesn't boot).

    I've tried manually creating the system reserved partition (type 24) but Windows still won't boot (says 'BootMgr not found...').

    None of the BootRec.exe options have worked (/RebuildBcd, /FixMbr, /FixBoot).

    Any ideas?

    Does it work if you clone the drive rather than trying a clean install?

    I installed Win 7 on the SSD partition of my hybrid drive. No need to go out and buy a new SSD...

    (Before you PM me on how I got the SSD part to boot... Bing + BCDEdit is your friend...)
