I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

also, under "distribution" in that bootable usb creator you showed me, do I use "ubuntu" or which one? Edit: so I made a bootable disk by using the "ubuntu" distribution, and it booted up from the usb just fine, both options 1 and the alternate graphical server both freeze there after about 10 seconds, the graphical one does get further though. Am I just not putting it on the usb correctly?

okay I give up. Im just going to forget about it and deal with the minor speed drop from not secure erasing. I tried both menu options from the usb, and it just hangs past a certain point as its booting into parted magic. And I also did the same from a burned ISO to a cd....any thoughts? In the usb creator, theres a distribution, then theres also a menu to the right of that asking about "live" and such. Not sure what to select there.

I did the install with the storage drive in the loop, so maybe the bios is looking there too getting confused? But now when I pull that drive out with this new 256gb drive installed, a message pops up after post that says "select proper boot device" or something like that. And if I were to go into the bios and manually select a boot device (the 256gb ssd) it gives me that error. Any ideas?

leave just the ssd installed, boot the the installation disk and run a repair. the boot info is on the 1 tb drive.

have you tried this yet?
