Worked like a charm, thanks svl7!

Hey svl7 I needed to reinstall windows 8 after the bios unlock because I switched the hard drive to an SSD, and now the built in product key for v8.01 is incomplete (Not activating and only showing a partial key). Is there any way of fixing this? EDIT: I talked to Microsoft about this and they confirmed the product key was incomplete.

Yes! v8.01 works like a charm, thank you svl7!

Thanks I'll try it out! Has anyone been able to succesfully flash bios v8.01 yet??

Did you upgrade the driver to get a solid signal?

Is it possible to hook up the msata and an ssd together in RAID0? Have you tried downloading anything big? My 2200 card drops the signal after about 20 minutes or so of downloading.

I have the Newegg.com - lenovo IdeaPad Y580 (59345717) Notebook Intel Core i7 3630QM(2.40GHz) 15.6" 8GB Memory 1TB HDD Blu-ray Combo NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M, which came with bios v8.01 (5DCN90WW). Has anyone tried to rollback to bios v8.00?

Also, will downgrading to Windows 7 make a difference in the updating process? I heard some manufacturers designed special bios updates to boost compatibility wuth Windows 8...

Does anyone know if its possible to go from BIOS 5DCN90WW to the 2.07 version?
