I've just bought a crucial MX100 256gb and installed a Win 10 preview on it.
Whenever I tried to reboot it there were 2-3 failed attempts - It just stopped at the windows logo during boot, so the drive was detected but for some reason it wouldn't be read (the led indicating that the drive is in use was not blinking).
After 2-3 hard resets there would appear a message under windows logo saying something like "Automatic repair will begin now" and the pc would reboot correctly into windows.
So I thought, that's because of win 10. Installed win 8.1 and exactly the same situation happens.
My bios SATA settings are set to AHCI, there are no UEFI options as my laptop is ~5 years old. Installing AMD AHCI drivers didn't help.
What's more I've discovered that everytime I reboot my PC, the APM settings of my hard drive reset and are set to 01h instead of FEh and this causes write speed to be extremely low (50mb/s).
Now the interesting bits - that drive inserted into two other laptops that are also 4-5 years old booted into win8 every single time. The drive was directly switched between laptops, without any formatting or windows reinstalling.
Also windows 7 installed on that drive boots every time on my laptop, but I really want to move onto win 8 / 10...
Any suggestions ?
