    Hi!

    I have a Crucial 64GB SSD drive that i would to put in my XPS M1530. I tried it some months ago but Windows 7 could never find the drive.

    And i would now like to try again. Any good tips on if it will work, and how should i do it with regards to drivers etc?

    If i remember correctly, the BIOS found it but not Windows.

    "but Windows 7 could never find the drive."

    Where did you put the drive?

    Do you mean that the Windows 7 installer couldn't find the drive?
