    Hello everyone,
    I recently bought a new acer aspire ethos 8951G laptop. I just upgraded the ram to a 32GB and have rectly installed a new OCZ Vertex 4 SSD 512GB Drive. Before installing the SSD drive, windows boots up normally using the 750GB HDD that came with the machine. But as soon as I installed the new SSD drive (and made it my bootable drive), windows takes no less than 5minutes to boot. It stays on the windows logo for up to 5 minutes before loading the log on screen. I believe something must be wrong somewhere and I have tried everything i know but to no avail. Please could anyone help with this issue? I will be very grateful, if I can get my SSD drive to boot as fast as expected. Many thanks in advance.

    How come u have 32GB ?????!
    Is it working?
    Am suggesting you to remove all HDDs and SSDs
    Clear cmos (or remove battery)
    Install unallocated vertex 4 and install clean windows on it again ..
