Z97-G55 SLI IRST "accelerate disk" option missing (ssd caching)

greetings, i have a Z97-G55 SLI and i am having issues with SSD caching. the BIOS is set to RAID (no arrays) and the IRST driver is 13.6.0.1002. i have a 2TB WD2003FZEX HDD with win7sp1 64 on sata port 0 and an unformatted samsung 850 series ssd on sata port 2. i want to use the samsung 850 to accelerate. when i open up IRST in windows, there is no accelerate option tab. if i open up IRST in the option rom while booting using ctrl-i, the option for accelerating is there but it is grayed out and not selectable.
why is the accelerate feature not working?
system specifications:
windows 7 sp1 64bit
HDD: WD2003FZEX (OS)
SSD samsung 830 or 850 pro (for cache) just testing with the 850 for now. i'm gonna use the 830 later.
MOBO: MSI Z97-G55 SLI
CPU: i7-4790k
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1866

List full spec would help a lot.
SSD acceleration came out was because years ago SSD only had like 64G. This feature actually just put the cache to the SSD. IMPOV, I don't think it would help as you expected for now. I wonder if your system is a fresh install of OS, cuz if yes, I'd suggest just install the OS to the SSD.
i edited my post to list the full spec. i want the OS on the HDD because my nephew will install tons of games that take up lots of space.

The issue is with my SSD in the M.2 slot. The first time I booted the computer and put Windows 8.1 on the SSD everything worked fine. The next day the bios could not recognize the SSD in the M.2 slot. At this point I can get the Bios to recognize the SSD but not boot from it. I've been doing some research and this is apparently a common problem with the M.2 format. I was wondering if anyone else on here has had this issue and if they knew of any fixes? Thanks

MSI Z97-G55 SLI Ram problem

So I have this motherboard: MSI Z97-G55 SLI and the following ram dimm: Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Black (HX318C10FB/4)
The problem is that the sistem doesn't boot with that ram. I checked the ram in another sistem and it's good.
The question is what should i do? Is there any way to make the board use the ram?
Sorry for my bad english!

Yeah, I currently have a stick of 2gb from Kingmax. It's only for a couple of days till I resolve the problem. I tried to manually put the settings for the Kingston ram (I don't know if I did it correctly) but it didn't work.
Can someone tell me what should I modify in bios?

Bootcamp Assistant: "'Create Windows 7 Install Disk Option' Missing" Fix Problem

Firstly, sorry if this is in the incorrect fourm area, it's related with the Mountain Lion OSx software, so I posted here.
I am Running OSX 10.8.3
I'm trying to install bootcamp with a .ISO and a USB Drive. You need to make a Windows 7 install disk, and Bootcamp Assistant can do that for you, but the option isn't showing up.
I am running OSX 10.8.3 M-Lion
The link below shows how to fix the issue......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD4kgJQ-r0c
I did everything as it says, until the 2:20 mark in the video, where he tells you to go to the USBSupportedModels and copy the first string that follows....
I couldn't find it,however,I found a similar one, shown below. I beleive it's the thing that I need to duplicate, but the strings, shown below, are considerably different.
<key>PreUSBBootSupportedModels</key>
          <array>
                    <string>MacBook7,1</string>
                    <string>MacBookAir3,2</string>
                    <string>MacBookPro8,3</string>
                    <string>MacPro5,1</string>
                    <string>Macmini4,1</string>
                    <string>iMac12,2</string>
If you look in the Top comments section, there are people, running the same OSX as mine (10.8.3) saying that it's not working, with 2 people rating it up. There is a reply saying that it does work. However, I know if somthing is messed up, the Assistant would be rendered unusable, a risk i am hesitating to take. I Googled everywhere, but all I'm finding is the same fix for USBSupported over and over again.
Has anyone found a correct or know of a fix for this? OR should I just go ahead and do as the video says?
Thanks!

Don't modify that file because anyway it won't work. The reason is that Apple has determined the Macs that support the Windows installation from a USB drive by their firmware. It means that if you modify that file you will be able to create a Windows 7 USB drive, but if you try to install Windows, your computer will show up a black screen in the next startup telling you that it hasn't found any bootable device.
You can edit that file if you want, but it's not sure that the option will show up in Boot Camp Assistant, and you won't be able to install Windows through a USB drive because the firmware of your computer doesn't support this

Satellite A300 and Windows 7 - missing "Create a disk" option

Hi.
I installed windows 7 professional in my laptop A300 - 15C (PSAJ4E) two weeks ago and i have a problem.
I Installed all drivers for win 7 from the official site of toshiba and i can't see the option of "Create a disk" where i can install the firmware update.
So, my laptop hasn't install the firmware updates and it's very slow on the boot.
Any idea about this problem?

As I can see your posting is mix of three different issues but described in two sentences.
Can we please discuss about each issue separately?
At first I must say that I have installed Win7 on my Satellite A300-1LI successfully and I am happy with performance and must say that all hardware components run perfectly.
So, back to your notebook:
# What do you mean with "Create a disk" option? Maybe you think on some preinstalled Toshiba tool, I don't know exactly. The fact is that Toshiba offers many useful tools and utilities with factory settings only and such tools cannot be downloaded and installed additionally.
# Firmware update? Do you really need this? I don't think so. Have you noticed some problems with optical disc drive?
# Slow boot-up? Have you installed all listed drivers for Win7 especially chipser dtiver and storage manager? Please note that SATA settings in BIOS must be set to AHCI mode.

Firefox 24 missing clear cache on exit option

I was going to enable the option to clear cache on exit, and found this answer:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache
However, in firefox 24, the privacy tab is totally different than the page shows. My option has "tracking", "history" and "Location Bar", instead of just history and location bar. Under "History" there is only on dropdown menu that does not have the "Clear History when Firefox Exists" and the "setting" button.
Why this feature is removed from v24?

To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel
Note Firefox will disable the disk cache if you use "Clear history when Firefox closes".<br />
You can see that by the missing disk cache section on the about:cache and and in "Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network"

What should I do to activate it or solve the problem?

There should be an option tro activate when you run any of the installed programs.

Acrobat 9 Std - Comments- 'Enable for Commenting And Analysis In Reader' option Missing

Hi,
We've purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, and need to enable comments in Reader for PDFs that we create in Acrobat. The option to "Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Reader" seems to be missing from the "comments" menu, even though all the videos/tutorials insist it's there.
I haven't found any threads about this yet, and searched google for the missing option + "missing" along with other things. Nothing related came up.
Any ideas on what we could try? Or why this is happening?
Thanks!

I don't think Standard has this option. Acrobat Pro does.
This page confirms it: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html

Hi,
When you say "What I see is only the General tab asking for sync? " Is the same General tab in the Options menu?
The View Passwords is generally under Options > Security > Saved Passwords
It is possible to check that the new device has the sync account attached in the Sync Tab in Options. If you already did please ignore this option.
