Wow, new one on me.. Intel does say in the firmware upgrade program that some SATA port configurations don't let the SW see the drive...
This tool will only function correctly with the BIOS SATA ports configured to "Legacy" / "Compatibility" mode, or "AHCI" mode. Some BIOS configurations support SATA port modes such as "IRRT", "RAID", and "Native + IDE" mode, which are not supported by this utility. -- JRS [email protected] Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Anthony Q.
