   I'll start today by calling Canada Computers where I bought both the
laptop and the SSD drive together, and they knew I planned on putting
that drive in that laptop so they should at least know whether it was
possible. And one of the techie guys there was impressively knowledgeable
about Linux so I'm going to start there. It may be something as simple as
flipping a setting in the BIOS.
