Switching hard drive to ssd 050714
-The laptop runs so great after I switched the 1 TB spinning hard drive to a 250 GB ssd.  The procedure was a little pricey though ($418.64), but I also got 2 years of Geek Squad support.  Previously my laptop took a long time to start up and wake up from sleep.  Now however, the laptop starts up and wakes up from sleep much faster and is more responsive overall.  I am very pleased.

Questions
-Can this laptop have two hard drives inside (so I could have one SSD and one normal drive for example?  No it can't.  A computer guy at Alvicius opened it and checked for me. 04-13-2015d0942

Some items
-reinstalled os on samsung ativ book 6 4-19-15.  When I did this I lost some large video files of mouse experiments because I didn't copy the data from Box, and Box didn't sync these files since the size was too large.
-I want to reinstall the os on this device to keep things fresh

-The keyboard on the laptop suddenly stopped working.  I could type to log in, but I couldn't type anywhere else.  I tried booting into safe mode. . didn't help.  I performed a system restore to the last restore point about 10 days previously when Zero Tier One was removed by one of the IT guys at CNIO in an attempt to get my computer to be able to print at CNIO.  The system restore took about 10 min, and then my keyboard worked again! 03-16-2015d1555
