    Just wondering what Intel RST drivers people are using on R3s? I tried to reinstall on a 120gb SSD using the "out of the box" alienware windows 7 cd and it comes up with "no devices found" which i said, oh its just an f6 driver, which I can not find for a 6 series chipset. I messed with it for a few hours today without finding any QS67 RST Drivers, I tried the older RST f6 drivers with no luck. And of course the restore CD will not work because the SSD is smaller then 250gb :(

    I did get it working by cloning the orig hdd to the ssd, but I would rather do a real reinstall.

    Any advice? Maybe i'm just being a noob.
