Hi people
I just bought a crucial M4 SSD and am trying to upgrade the firmware and install windows. However when I disconnect my other HDD's and just leave the M4 and a cdrom connected I cant get the pc past the POST screen, it stays at the 'press DEL to enter setup' and wont enter setup when I press delete.
Both the M4 and cdrom are showing correctly on the post screen but nothings happening :confused:
 
So I managed to get windows installed by leaving my other hard drives plugged in. Not sure why it wouldn't work without then but hey ho.

So what should I be doing now to get maximum performance from my ssd?
Should I change my bios to ACHI mode for sata or leave it on ide?
Also should I be using TRIM?
Anything else?
