Hi Dell.
I just got new DELL Vostro 3560 i7 3612QM/8/500+32/Win 8/Silver.
Windows 8 have appeared to be completely basic (no chance to join for workplace Domain nor languages for UI), so, I just deleted it with installation from scratch of normal Windows 8 Professional VLC mode of my company. My experience of such type of activity is started 21 years ago (as from Windows 3.0).
All fine except there is no 32 GB SSD anymore. Windows 8 can see only 8 GB SSD drive (even not allocated).
Same time in BIOS I can still read "SAMSUNG SSD 32GB".
What I did:
1. Setup Windows 8 Pro from Boot DVD.
2. Deleted old partitions as usually.
3. Install to fresh HDD.
4. Did not touch anything in BIOS.
5. Provided HDD drivers from Dell support website (taken from the available from Dell Vostro 3560).
As result I cannot activate IRST (it worked in originally provided Windows 8 Basic and I saw for sure 8 GB + 22 GB of SSD there used for IRST).
Looking at internet I have found another fresh impacted person (despite he uses another OS) with identical symptoms:

What should I do in order to force Vostro to provide me 32GB SSD back again? All the goal I had when selection given mighty laptop was related to the IRST function, otherwise I do not need it.
Please let me know the solution.
Regards,
Sergey.
