Need Help Installing Windows 7 on a 535 SSD

Hello everyone

 

I just bought an Intel 535 240Gb SSD to replace the original HDD on my Dell Precision M6600 that suddendly died a month ago... I installed the new SSD, changed the SATA configuration to AHCI and then, when running the Windows 7 installer, the SSD won't show in the drive list to install Windows. I tried changing the BIOS configuration back from ACHI to SATA (Which basically runs the SSD as IDE) and then the drive is shown in the Windows installation, I went on and installed the OS but after that, the performance of the new SSD is very erratic, random and won't just let me do anything in Windows!.

 

I tried to look for the drivers for this SSD but it seems that Intel don't share this besides the "Intel Migration Software" which actually comes in the CD included in the box, but this will only help me migrating data from an innitial drive to the new SSD, but as the originial HDD is dead, I'm basically installing it as a new drive, which means the provided software won't help...

 

I'd appreciate if anyone could help me install this drive properly
