    Hi,

    I purchased an Intel 120GB SSD while visiting the States, and am keen to install and try it out before heading back to New Zealand.

    As I am overseas I don't have my ASUS recovery DVDs. I was wondering if it's possible to install Windows 7 on the SSD using either my girlfriend's Windows 7 OEM DVD, or a downloaded Windows 7 ISO. Obviously I would be using my proper key,

    Otherwise, I suppose I could use software to clone my C drive to the SSD, but reckon that'd be a bit more likely to have issues than a fresh install from what I have been reading.

    Advice from previous G73JH SSD upgraders would be greatly appreciated!

    Cheers.
