    m11x r3 just arrived, and i swapped the HD for my 256 SSD and now at the win7 install it keeps asking me for drivers for my SSD.
    I also tried another SSD from a different manufacture and it also keeps asking for drivers.
    So i think thats a problem with Alienware? right?

    This sounds like an issue with either the drive or Windows, thus not a Alienware issue. If the system works with the original drive then something is up with the SSD. What make and model SSD is it? Have you tried the latest firmware?

    I just talked to Dell Service they are certain its BIOS related, but i got a bigger problem no Hard-disk even the original can't be found if i want to install a fresh Windows.
