It allowed me to install the OS and after a number of minutes of installing it seemed to ask me to install again this time allowing me to select a drive to install it on. The only one that showed up was the usb bootable drive which was too small to install onto. I also plugged in a 30 something GB usb and it let me install onto it but then the installation failed after a minute or so. I just have this 'feeling' that if I replaced the SSD with a new one it would install onto it and everything would work.. but then again my brain tells me it's risky to spend the money on a SSD haha (about £100 i think).Will keep you guys posted how I get on.</blockquote>
