James,
Thank you for you pointers. I don't agree with your view of what Windows
may or may not do.
I did not see your suggesgested behavior. But, I was able to get Crucial
128GB SSD
recognized using my w7pro-32 OS. Thank you Disk Management!!
The suspect SSD is now formatted as Volume F: on the machine.
I believe it works.
I believe it is now 119.54GB empty space.
I will now think about what to do next.................. :)
For now, this thread in now closed.
Thank you collective for your shares.
Duncan

the one thing that DOES matter is, is the port you're plugging it into a
SATA2 or SATA3 port... just about any modern SSD wants to go into a SATA3
port for performance reasons. (although they still feel bat out of hell
fast on a SATA3 port)

Sorry. I am still trying to learnWindow 7pro and Windows 8.1pro.
I have read and re-read the traffic of the past 2 weeks. I accept that the
collective has some 'SSD experts,' and a bunch of 'SSD wanna-bes.'
I am new to implementing SSD.
I really would like to ask a question, and, just get an
answer without personal bias. Is this possible any more??
Or is SSD now being used as a way to divide the collective?
Best,
Duncan
