Rapid start has nothing to do with SSD, it's a fast sleep mode, it should install, weird.

Wo do need a SSD for Rapid Start to work.
Read the last few lines of the following article and probably you'll understand.

I dont know how you are trying to download the driver. Just click on the following link and the driver installation package will download.

First use this tool to verify: AMD Catalyst
Then download from here: AMD Graphics Drivers & Software
Use desktop graphics, HD series, 7xxx and select OS, now download the latest one or the latest beta at bottom.

seems like automatic updates is the culprit here. go to windows update settings and hide amd radeon 7730m driver update that is listed under important update. hope it helps.

But I had changed the windows update settings to "Never check for Updates(not recommended)". So it should not be downloading updates.

I downloaded AMD from this link
*www2.ati.com/DriverS/mobile/13-1_mobility_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe
Now the driver version is this

You are not getting it from windows update, it's the stock driver for windows 8. it installs that automatically to know what that unknown device is in ur laptop. You can simply install the new driver over it not a problem.

this might help you for ad-hoc connections: How To Create Wireless Ad Hoc Internet Connection In Windows 8
and i use acronis for recovery and backups, never use win8 backup thingy, so don't know about that.. :p
Limited connectivity usually means that you won't be having any internet connection.. :twisted:

yes, it has the option of either full backup (c: and system drive), or backing up individual files and folders, but for what you are asking, i think no software could do that, coz then, registry problems would arise...
So i would suggest you to uninstall all the software you don't need in backup (or format c: and install required drivers and dell utilities), and then take the backup of your c: and system drive, keep it somewhere safe and then install all the softwares, now you have the backup you were talking about.. :p

Use this to create an image and store it in a pendrive or external HDD(image of C drive, recovery and the 100MB reserved drive), you also need to create a system rescue disc(bootable) using that tool(other taks>create rescue media), now boot from that DVD and restore image to HDD: Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download

I've just purchased 15R Turbo with 1080p screen and I'm very satisfied with the performance.

How can I turn off the backlight of the keyboard?
