    Hello. I was about to reinstall windows 7 on my PC and so I disabled the accelleration cache. It crashed in the middle of the process. I unable to run hp recovery and unable to install a new OS. How can I properly disable the mSSD without a proper version of windows running?

    I found a way to disable the hard drive acceleration cache:

    I booted into linux and installed a partition onto the mSSD. When I restarted the computer, I was greeted with a new boot screen where it recognized that something was wrong with the RAID setup (I am unfamiliar with RAID) and let me disable the acceleration. This allowed me to boot into windows.

    If I had come on here sooner, I would have mentioned creating a new partition on the mSSD.

    Do you by any chance know if I can install Ubuntu if I disable the Intel RST, install the OS, then re-enable it for Windows?

    Disconnecting your harddrive and boot your computer will bring you to the same screen also.

    How do you run a linux disc? I have the same problem now with an HP DV7T-7000 CTO laptop with a primary 750GB hard drive connected to a 32GB SSD with acceleration. I tried to disable acceleration and it crashed to BSOD.

    Do I set the partition on the SSD or the C: drive?
