    I use SZ79 with mtron SSD 32G.

    I just patched the bios which is alble to use ahci and vt in my SZ79.

    It seems works very well yet.

    but i`ve read that it could crash with hdd protection when i enalbe to use ahci.

    Anyone knows how to stop or disable hdd protection on default Vista which is installed by recorvery CD?

    i don`t need hdd protection because of SSD. :confused:

    If it doesn't show up in your Vista "Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Uninstall a program" list as "VAIO HDD Protection" then it's not installed.

    Because he doesn't have a hard drive
    he has a ssd

    To the OP:
    also go into VAIO Control Center -> click on Security
    and see if it's off there
