Hello i decided to refresh my config and overcome the limitation of sata2 of my motherboard by buying a brand new revodrive 350 240GB.
I installed it on the first black pciex slot that my board has (pci 2.0 8x) and i went for the windows installation.
Here is what happened:
Booted the system and i could see the revodrive post 5g running fast initializing drives...ok then i selected the usb flash for the windows setup.
Started windows installation, loaded the extra drivers and I could see the drive, didnt format the partition and went for the installation on revo's unallocated space, the setup begun and after 2-3 minutes i was prompted an error message and i had to restart the pc.
After that i was no longer able to see the revodrive within windows installation (even if i loaded the drivers first) but i still can see SCSI revodrive in my bios and I still see the 5g 8x message on boot.
I also downloaded the bootable ssd guru, but when i boot from it i get a black screen and pc restarts. I also installed the drive on a different pc with windows already installed in it and lanched the ssd guru app, but it doesnt see the drive.
What happened here? how am i going to get it working? What am i doing wrong?
Here is my config:
Asus p5q Deluxe
12GB PC6400
Xeon 5470
enermax 620W
geforce 970mini
the system is rock solid
