How to do it 1. Boot up your UX32VD. It's pretty self explanatory, so I won't cover those steps. As I never burned the recovery DVDs, I'm not certain if it will allow you to restore it after following the guide.
Do not have high hopes since Asus seem to have made some of the original files on the stock C: Windows install required in order to complete the restore. Don't ask me why, I think it's pretty foolish by Asus to have critical files on the C: disk since any format or modification will render the recovery useless. It's still good to have the recovery DVDs in hand just in case.
Identify which one is the integrated SSD disk. It's the one listed as 29,82GB and is probably listed as 'Disk 0'. You will see that the SSD has two partitions. Right click on both of them and select 'Delete volume'. Now, right click on the drive icon and select 'Convert to MBR disk Windows 7 can't install on GPT disks, so that's why we're changing this. You can then do an alternative method listed below.
You can also plug in a bootable Windows 7 installation USB stick. By booting while holding ESC you should enter a screen where you can choose which device to boot from. Select the one you have your Windows 7 media on and press enter. Windows 7 will now load its installation files and the Windows 7 setup will start.
In step 9. I always prefer to install Windows 7 on a completely clean system, although you can probably leave it until later. How to leave the original Windows 7 installation alone until later: start with DEL to enter the bios, navigate to boot options and disable the Windows Boot Manager boot option the original Hitachi HDD boot option. Remember that the SSD should be set as 1 boot device. Proceed with the installation until you see the target disk selection screen.
You will see many partitions here, and two tasks needs to be done. The Hitachi should have a warning sign. Now click the advanced options, and make the advanced menu display all the available disk options. First, select. Second, format the SSD. Select the SSD and press next. Windows 7 will now install on it. Wait until the notebook has booted into Windows 7. It's now installed and running on the integrated iSSD!
Be very careful when doing this. I've done this and it works perfectly. Driver installation guide I've installed the following driver packs from Asus UX32VD page, and it covers the basics and some more. I've left some out though, like the wired ethernet usb driver - so add that if you wish to use it.
Everything listed is tested and works properly. It's probably the same for the rest of Europe, but if it's the same in the US is not certain. It's still early and we need more reports to know for certain.
Start with installing the 1. Intel VGA driver, and then the 2. Nvidia VGA driver so you get the proper resolution up for the display. Then start from the 3. ATK driver and install them in the stated order from Reboot after installing each driver. The rest that are not numbered can be installed in any order at your own discretion.

It will also save the SSD from unnecessary writes, the only con is that it can use slightly more power while sleeping for long periods. Lower the Page File disk usage. Open the Start Menu and go to Control Panel. Click on the System icon and select the Advanced tab. Under Performance, click Settings. Searching here and elsewhere on the web I have found that I am not alone with this issue.
I am ready to start again with a fresh install and would like to know how I need to set it all up so that appdata pagefiles and anything else that grows are stored on a regular hard drive so that the 30Gb drive never fills up.

However you may be able to get Windows to function within reason by doing the following. In the 'Performance' box click the 'Settings' button.
In the 'Performance options' window click on the 'Advanced tab' In the 'Virtual Memory' box click the 'Change' button'. Uncheck 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives'. You will see many partitions here, and two tasks needs to be done.
