Try a ion beta or stable of openelec from openelec.tv and report back

ion beta - same result
ion stable - works but no sound and is the old version of XBMC.

xbmcfreaks - works out the box but doesn't feel any faster/slower than standard drive!

I am also thinking of an ssd solution for my 3700 but rather than using openelec I want to clone my Windows 7 install onto it as there are a couple of other things apart from XBMC I want to use on it.
Anyone know if its as simple as cloning my present install onto an ssd or are there other hoops I will have to jump through?

How long ago did you download the Frodo openelec version. As they are nightly builds they are updated daily. if you don't have any luck try posting in the thread over there

Should be easy enough to clone your drive using something like clonezilla. You may want to realign your partitions for optimal ssd lIfe http://m.lifehacker.com/5837769/make-sur...erformance

The USB drive that you install OpenELEC from needs to be labeled "OPENELEC" . If it is not, you will get that error regarding not being able to mount
