1 - No, I didn't. It didn't sound, from the info given, like it was something to do if you plan on having the drive stay there.
2 - Ok. That's good to know.
3 - I don't really care about it, but if leaving it there doesn't cause problems, I'd like to leave it there all the same.
I don't still have a warranty on the computer or the SSD. It came in the computer, and the six month warranty has run out by now.
I'll run the hard drive diagnostic when I get home, and attach the results to a post along with the minidump directory.
Thanks,
John
