Installing windows on hybrid hdd disk

[sibuns]

Hello. I have Asus S56C that has 750gb hdd and 24gb ssd. I want to install windows. I have some questions. When i boot win from usb and get to the part where i create partitions, what should i do with the ssd disk ? Do you have to see it in explorer as disk or what when windows are installed?

Thanks for your answers.

Those disks are actually the same as a 750GB HDD, so just treat it like one.

windows will be ignorant that the SSD is even part of the drive. the ssd cache is part of the drive. format as you would a regular drive, as windows thinks it's just a regular drive. you will not see the ssd cache in windows at all.
The hard drive will automatically decide what gets to use the ssd part.

I believe the hybrid drive has software that manages the SSD for you and you don't have control over where your OS is installed (HDD or SSD). As Basroil advised, just treat the drive as a normal 750GB HDD and let the software do the work of optimising the drive.
