Installing Intel 80gb SSD

[Dogfood09]

Guys,

I got my Intel SSD drive arriving tomorrow , whats the best way to install it? I ma thinking.....Install to my case , boot up using my o/s on my other drive , download toolbox and update firmware if required , Shut down , restart using my win7 dvd , then at the drive options , format my old drive with my O/S on , and install win7 onto new SSD drive? does that sound ok , or am i missing anything?

Kind Regards

you update the firmware from a cd-r booted at startup, so no need to boot into windows.

So its best to download all things prior , chuck it on a disc , install ssd into case , then boot to install win7 ?? Is it easy to install firmware?
