AS I said in my previous post, I bought some stuff to improve my laptop’s performance, specially this part, which I was amazed how a laptop could have an extra small SSD. I knew it would be tough to disassembly my laptop, but in my first attempt, after some effort, I managed to install the RAM memory. I have a Asus G55VW, it’s a pretty old, but powerful, laptop. And it turned out to be harder than I expected to install the mSata. Yesterday I decided to install it once for all, and this is the result I’m happy to be writing this post from my laptop, because I didn’t know if I would be able to assembly it again hahaha After everything was in place, I started install Linux Mint again, and after it, in my first boot, nothing happened. The drive couldn’t be found to boot, but once I started my old Linux system I could see it. So when I looked further on the internet for the problem I found out how out to date I’m. When I was younger, I learnt about one thing called MBR, which is where GRUB writes the code to do the boot magic. But MBR was superseded by GTP and it some BIOS can’t map it, because now, we have a new thing instead of BIOS, it’s called UEFI. I read some pages on the internet explaining how to boot GTP with BIOS, but none of them worked :( Summarising, I could install the device, but I couldn’t make my OS being booted by it, so I mapped only my /home folder to be there. Lessons learnt:

• Even though I’m more into other things (software), it’s good to keep up to date with hardware stuff
• I can assembly and disassembly my laptop completely :)
• Some new stuff as GTP, UEFI and so on (which I still have to study deeper)

  See you :)
