    I have installed a Crucial M500 240GB SSD in this laptop, and am trying to do a clean install from the recovery disk I created. The SSD is clearly recognised, and installation completes to the point where windows is "starting services" after the first reboot after restore. At this point I get an error "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation." At this point a reboot just results in the cycle to the same point.

    Has anyone installed this SSD clean in a similar system? Is this a RAID issue maybe? Do I need to load drivers during the install? Intel RST?

    Any help/pointers would be appreciated. I am searching the forums, and web but am yet to see the exact same issue with this configuration and recovery platform.
