you sure know how to go off on tangeants
rapid storage? lol no one was talking about it, no one cares about it, it's the most useless technology ever. Not to mention there have been loads of reported issues when trying to utilize it.
Win 7 OEM, again never did he ask about this.
He did ask if he needed to format his harddrive before installing on a new motherboard, and while yes you certainly can and is probably the easier route, you don't have to. Google it if you aren't familiar. Suffice it to say if you plan on have HDD as a non-boot sector you most certainly DO NOT need to format it, but you can if you want.
and why would he have to format HDD due to installing win 7 on SSD? that makes no sense it's 2 completely different drives, if the installation is having issues because it's already reading a drive with an OS installed, well I guess you can reach your hand in and unplug the sata cord to the HDD, I know I know.. really tough stuff. But with Z68 he has UEFI and I guarantee that you can go into that and have start up ignore your HDD completely while you're installing windows on the SSD.
