nullack Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Gday So I have a corsair force 240GB SSD with firmware revision 1.0 I downloaded the 2.0 firmware My setup is AHCI on SATA 6 GB/s through a marvell 91xx controller I did have the 10.x version intel drivers but that was for my intel raid sata 3 not the seperate marvell 91xx controller chip that the ssd is actually attached too Anyhow........... In admin mode I run the corsair utility and it cant find the SSD So I uninstall the 10.x intel drivers and reboot In admin mode with what has falled back to now older intel drivers, I still dont see the dam drive Since its my boot drive, its obviously there, device manager knows about it no issue, so does crystaldiskinfo.........Its just the corsair utility that wont detect it regardless of what version of the intel drivers I use So Corsair please fix it or suggest a workaround, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 please fill in your complete specs, i cant tell if you have other drives. is it set for IDE or AHCI? are you overclocked at all? what version of windows? have you read http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=90759 ? have you followed this? http://www2.corsair.com/software/Force%202.0%20Update/How%20To%20Force%20Series%20Firmware%20Update.pdf if you have followed the preceding you can RMA the drive to get a version 2 back but of course all your data will be gone. let us know:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullack Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yep thanks read all those Also tried a bootdisc as suggested elsewhere to no effect Its in AHCI mode Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit As I said the marvell 91xx sata 6gbs is running the sata port for the Force SSD. Its the only device on that chip. The motherboard is an EVGA SR-2 and I have the latest WHQL certified marvell drivers running the chip. RMA is a major hassle - it always takes forever given Im in Australia, I dont have another SSD to use in the meantime and so on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Right click it and run as administrator. I'm confused if it's a Marvell controller why do you have Intel RST installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullack Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 As I said before, Im running it with admin rights Thed marvell runs the corsair ssd and I run a raid 5 array seperaretly through the intel ich 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 If these drives are currently in a RAID you will have to break the RAID to update the firmware, that may be the problem if I understand you correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullack Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 No, one corsair ssd force 240gb on the marvell controller. No raid there. There is a separate raid array with a bunch of drives off the intel ich 10 buts not on the marvell chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 If you already have the live CD then unplug all the drives, plug the Force drive into the ICH and boot from CD to see if the utility detects it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
