Windows 7/Boot Camp SSD Sata 3/6gb/s install problems

hi there,

registered forum having bought macbook pro 17" on friday. aim upgrade stock 5400 rpm drive 120 gb ssd sata 3 drive. easier said done. installed brand-new corsair force series 3 , drive not recognised disk utilities. gave on one. tried ocz vertex 3 , recognised immediately. managed install snow leopard no problems. problem came when tried install windows 7 using boot camp. 12 hours later still hadn't managed after numerous attempts. various problems included windows 7 unable format drive. when did manage install windows 7 never quite completed install or freeze on starting windows screen. managed windows 7 installation couple of times whole shebang freeze when tried install boot camp drivers. upon rebooting not able boot windows partition again. rapidly losing live. gave on ocz ssd drive well.

morning last resort installed older corsair force series 2 ssd 60 gb drive experiment. recognised disk utilities unlike series 3 version , managed install snow leopard , windows 7 via boot camp 0 problems. , running. hard drive smaller wanted. proves 1 thing , support of ssd sata 3 drives in macbook pro 17" version flaky least , on tests did using 2 of these drives impossible install windows 7 using boot camp.
