x220 msata 310 fail.
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 4:22 pm
I could use some help. I've got an x220 running win 7 with all of the latest lenovo patches, including latest bios updates. The machine is configured with lenovo option 160GB ssd. I added an intel 80 msata ssd. I only want to use the msata drive to store media. The install seemed to go fine. I booted to windows, run disk management, initialized and formated the msata drive, windows recognized the drive. I moved 30GB of data onto it. No problems. .... Until... I rebooted. The machine runs through some of the bios code and then hangs with a blinking cursor just where it normal throws the first windows splash screen. I tried a bunch of bios parameter adjustments to no avail. I ordered a new msata today, thinking the other one may have failed. Went through the same routine and ended up with the exact same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
