I have a 500GB SSD that works great in my G75VW.

Created a back up ISO.

Pulled drive.

Grabbed a 128GB SSD.

Slammed it in, pushing and forcing as hard as I could while eating a Gyro until I heard the distinctive SNAP! signifying it's secure.

ISO has been loaded onto a USB stick.

It ran the ASUS RECOVERY stuff.

Just like everyone else on the internet, I know what I'm doing with computers (and what I don't know Google does), so assume I'm a jackass.

I've attached a video to explain and show where I'm at and why, after 15-20hours of reading article after article (and still reading as ideas pop into my noggin'), what I have going on...my situation...my own personal Thermopylae..and I can't find anything that describes exactly the situation I've gotten into.

The cool thing is, I have the other drive and that's hunky dory so it's not mission critical, death and fire everywhere, but I'd like to know WTF is going on.

Thoughts ideas and general compliments on my ability to do what no one has done before are appreciated.
