Working on mine now, Linux Mint 15 installs fine but afterwards it cannot boot from the SSD - no boot device found. Argh! BIOS sees the SSD as a legacy boot device so hardware is good and booting from a USB stick I can see the files on the HDD. Tried LVM and a standard install. May try Ubuntu next or Kubuntu - I really hate the new Gnome interface though <sigh>
P.S. Mint 14 also won't see the SSD to boot nor will 12.04 LTS Ubuntu. Really puzzled, the files are there when I boot from USB and examine the drive. Very strange...
Got it with Ubuntu 12.04LTS - you have to rebuild Grub AFTER the full install. Boot to the stick a second time and follow these instructions -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair I'm going to try this with Mint 15 now.
