    I really could use some help. So I recently found an identical LiteOn LMT-M6M 256 mSata SSD for my Blade. So I installed it, setup RAID 0 in my BIOS, etc. Everything appears great and ready to go. The only problem is, now my Blade refuses to boot the recovery media I made on my USB Flash Drive. I have tried everything. It will not load the OS. Says files are missing. (I am assuming because it is looking for the recovery that used to be on the SSD before it got wiped when I set up the striping for RAID 0) Any help would be great.

    I am currently downloading Windows 8.1 Pro from my student dreamspark account for free. I am going to creat a USB installation, as well as a set of discs. I am sure this will work, but I still prefer to use the factory config. Either way, I guess we will see. ( I am certain the disks will work, this isn't the first time I have had issues booting from a USB)
