AHCI/RAID mode supported (please note if the SSD has been assigned as a member of a RAID array, it cannot be used to set up Intel Rapid Start store partition); IDE mode not supported 5. All motherboard drivers correctly installed B. Creating a Primary Store Partition Below it is assumed Windows 7 is already installed on the SATA hard drive. Open Disk Management Tool Step 1: Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Computer Management >Storage > Disk Management. Step 2: Select the SSD on which you want to create the store partition (if the SSD is unallocated, create a new partition first), and right-click on the partition you select and select Shrink Volume. (Figure 1) Step 3: Enter the size of the required partition (it should be at least equal to the size of the memory currently installed on the system. (1 GB=1024 MB. For example, to set 8 GB, enter 8192 MB). The recommendation is to create a partition equal to the maximum memory capacity supported on the system, in order to take care of future memory upgrade scenarios.) Step 4: When completed, click Shrink. (Figure 2) Figure 1 Figure 2 C. Launching DiskPart Disk Partitioning Tool to Set up Intel Rapid Start Store Partition Open the command prompt window and run diskpart.exe (enter "diskpart" at the C:\> command prompt and press ). At the diskpart prompt, type the following commands in sequence. Note: The commands for MBR format and GPT format are different. Refer to the commands below. After entering all of the commands, be sure to restart your computer. MBR format: DISKPART>list disk DISKPART>select disk X DISKPART>create partition primary (Lists the disks and information about them) (Selects a disk. "X" is the disk number where you want to create the store partition. Refer to results from "list disk" for the exact disk number) (Create the primary store partition)
