    I bought a 96GB SSD Kingston the system cannot see it in ahci mode at all is this a defect on the g73?


    Is it a firmware or ssd drive issue with Kingston?

    Anyone have any insight if i switch it to ide mode it shows up but I don't want to run it in that degraded mode. :mad:

    Nope I got mine working I have exactly the same one :) you need to hit ESC when booting to go into the BIOS setup.

    Go to SATA configuration and change it to AHCI. IDE does not even boot for me.

    If it does not show up in windows you need to go into Hard Drive administration (disk management) and allow windows to recognise it.

    The V+100 does not have an updated firmware, yet at least. I have seen no problems from mine just had to tweak it to get max performance.
