    I just have my sz780 with 160GB Hybrid Hard Disk, How can I turn on use disk as a Hybrid Hard Disk, so it can help improve system perfomance.
    My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium so theres no group apolicy administrators on my computer.

    It shows on Device Manager.
    Tis disk has 243MB of non volatitleNV cache and can help improve sy performance. If using this disk as a hy brid hard disk in en abled, the disk can provide power saving and optimize the boot and resume times of system. The use of the disk as a hybrid Hard Disk can be turned on or off by the group apolicy administrators.

    Go to Computer --> C:\ --> Properties --> Hardware (Tab) --> Select HDD in list --> Click the properties button (bottom right) --> Policies (Tab) --> Tick the first box, and even the second, according to your needs.
    Note that the first one should already be checked, hybrid feature is enabled by default on Vista...
