That didn't help. When I followed your instructions it seemed to think I was running XP and I get an unsupported version error. Strange. Here is the logfile.

Tried safe mode installation. Got wrong OS errors. Forced it to run in Win 8 compatibility mode and it installed. Ran it and tried to update SSD firmware. Got another error. Rebooted, tried again, got the same error. The firmware update process encountered an error (10/53) I guess I will try the boot version of the firmware installer later. I am not currently having a problem. Just wanted to update to latest stuff.
