Hi guys. Had my SSD for about a year now. I have been having some problems, driver issues; nvidia drivers crashing (all up to date, I've reinstalled them etc.), playback issues. I feel there are some driver related problems so would like to format/fresh install windows. I have a Windows disc but don't have a disk drive for the SSD so what would be the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Install Windows, and format the disk when it asks where to install - go to advanced, and delete any partition on the SSD, and then install to an empty drive and it will do the rest.

Scratch the disc reader. I thought I would need a CD ROM reader for the SSD to put my windows disc in, thinking it would automatically go to the HDD. Anyway, it's windows 7 home premium.

Oh so it's really as simple as that? Remove the HDD, insert my Windows disc, format the SSD and install windows to the SSD and that's it?
