How do you do it with a laptop.
I have Sata to USB cord, but the firmwares software can't see it.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
That's not terribly much information. Is that how you want to use a SSD in the future?
Replacing the laptop's HDD, with the SDD and booting BartPE (if the update requires Windows) might be a way. Not that I ever tired that. I'd imagine the risk is a bit higher than updating from an ordinary XP install.

It seems you need to have the SSD as a secondary drive in order to flash it.
I don't think you can slipstream firmware in XP.
So .I'm just going to install the SSD, then windows 7, then the firmware, Then XP.

Urr, if you use a SSD as your main drive use win7 and NOT XP. Win7 has full support for SSDs. XP doesn't. It will make your drive wear down quite a bit and won't deliver the performance it should.
I could use the SATA to USB cable to install stuff to the SSD drive.
But the patriot software only sees the hard drive that's inside the laptop.
After some Googling. I Have found that all SSD drives have to be firmwared. The manufactues don't care about selling a good product the first time.
A guy on the OCZ forum uses a flash drive with windows 98, to firmware. LOL

XP won't know or care but Win7 will; never heard of TRIM.
While you can run XP on an SSD, it requires a fair bit of prep/tweaking to get/keep it running at it's full potential, with Win7 it's pretty much all sorted by the OS.
I wasn't talking about slipstreaming. BartPE is like a Linux Live CD, except it's Windows XP.
Dam it.
You can't even clone to the SSD. It freaks out after a bit.
But it booted up 10 Seconds faster then old hard drive.
I'm looking for my OS disks right now. It seems you have to do a fresh instal.
Old firmware is 2.0, new one is 3.0 with trim support.

XP will wear out your SSD way faster, because it will use it as if it was a normal HDD. It doesn't wear the memory blocks equally.
There is a XP update just for SSD drives.
MS made it for the netbooks.....Most used XP.
Still looking for my OS disks. Been working lately.
