    Laptop has a 32gb mSSD and it would work fine on my Windows 7, the Intel RST acceleration was working fine. A week ago, I clean installed Windows 8 by following the HP directions, disabling acceleration and resetting cache. The install was a non-UEFI , non Secure Boot type. After installing all the recommended drivers for IRST, the acceleration never worked. It kept on giving me error: "An error occurred and the selected disk or volume could not be accelerated. Please restart your computer and then try the operation again." Restart won't help. And I would keep getting the IRST Option Rom screen at boot every time.

    So after trying everything, including the Shrinking trick, Intel latest drivers, BIOS toggling, I was still not able to fix the problem. I finally decided to do a Factory Reset with my Recovery Disks and revert back to Windows 7. But even after that, and after installing all the recommended drivers, I am still facing the same problem. The laptop has gone considerably slow without the Acceleration. I am hating it. Please help someone. I am tired of posting for help everywhere without any solution. :( :confused: :mad:
