Hi, i am getting an OCZ Vertex 120gb delivered today and was hoping someone could help me with a step by step guide to installing this correctly.

I currently have 2x WD 500gb HDD's, so i assume i have to format these.

I understand i have to disconnect those and just have the SSD connected and set AHCI in the BIOS.

What i am concerned about is do i need to update the firmware to the latest and i am unsure how to do this prior to installing windows 7.

Also do i use the ASUS BIOS update tool after windows has completed.

As you can see i am a bit muddled with what to do so that i complete everything correctly and would really appreciate help with a step by step guide from the stage im at now so that i do not cause any problems.

My Spec if useful-

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Asus Crosshair Formula III
8GB OCZ DDR3 Goild Edition
EVGA GTX470
Corsair HX750
2x WD 500GB Caviar Green
Windows 7

Thank you.
