Hi ,

I have installed expresscache and intel rst

The drive is recognised in the bios and device manager.

I tried to follow the guides I found on here.

It keeps erroring out when using the expresscache command ECCmd -ITEM

    Yes I Have done it.

    Yes 

    yes

     

    Suppose you all want to know how........

     

    Well here is how

     

    I followed two guides.

     

     1 http://community.acer.com/t5/Ultra-Thin/GUIDE-Install-ExpressCache-for-SSD-Caching/td-p/64381

     

    http://www.tomlecluse.be/blog/20120820/activate-express-cache-issd

     

     

     

    First I followed guide  1 up to where you make a decision on expresschache only or Intel Rapid start with expresscache.

    At this point I swapped to guide 2.

    I followed this guide upto "then carry on with installing windows 7"

     

    Rebooted

     

    Then went back to guide 1 and followed installing with Intel Rapid Start with ExpressCache:

    I had already installed IRST.

    I then followed the guide to the end.

     

    Rebooted

     

    When using cmd prompt I used it as run with administrator.

    When installing express cache again install as administrator.

     

     

    Anyway this has worked for me. ont know if it is the right or wrong way or even a easier way .

    To be fair i dont care lol

     

    Enjoy 

     

    Matt
