    Hi there,

    I am re-posting in the Sony section, as I had no joy previously.

    I have a Sony TZ11MN and I'm trying to install a Kingspec KSD-ZF18.1-064MJ 64gb SSD.

    The SSD shows up in POST and in the BIOS, but Vista recovery disk cannot find the drive to write to. I have used Acronis to clone the SSD from the OE HDD (twice), but Vista Recovery disk still cannot see the drive when re-installed (it is visible in USB enclosure).

    I have counted the pins on the ZIF connectors on the OE HDD/ribbon/SSD, and can only count 40, not 44 pins, as was suggested in a previous post.

    I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions :)

    Best regards

    James
