Hello Ravi,
After I re-enabled the accelerator in Windows 8 (I still have not taken the plunge to install Windows 7) I receive this error message:"your system does not appear to have intel rapid start technology enabled"
I have verified the BIOS - drive is set for Smart etc... and I am including a screen shot of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology showing the drive.
Am I missing something? Why would i be getting this error at start up if it is installed and configured correctly?
