    Hey everyone, I will be receiving my R2 in the next couple of days and I have a question regarding to the SSD/HDD. I plan on replacing the standard HDD with a Kingston 128GB SSD. Is there anyway to make the SSD my primary drive but still have windows installed? Or do I need to reinstall windows on the SSD? Also, does Dell ship a Windows 7 recovery disk so i can easily install it on the SSD?

    thanks for the help.
