    Hi all,

    My model is np530u3c-a01 us

    bought crucial m4 128G

    tried to replace it from my previous HDD.

    tried to install with usb booting,

    but after the Windows installation and reboot.

    It reboots again and again.

    I've searched some threads in this forum.

    And the result was "buy a external DVD drive".

    OK, i bought it now and it will come 2 days after.

    And i want to make sure about the steps

    1. Burn a Windows DVD
    2. replace the SSD from HDD
    3. Run Windows installation using external DVD drive
    4. After the first reboot everything has to work fine like usb installation


    Is this the right and simple senario?

    Do i have to care about the iSSD(express cache) stuff?

    There were some threads that says i have to make a Mac Format or Linux that kind of complicated stuff :(

    OR do i have to controll the Boot Manager stuff?

    Man this is so complicated.

    And my worry is that the problem is the compatibility between series 5 and crucial's SSD.

    If that is the problem, i'm just wasting money buying external DVD drive.

    Hope this will work plz!
