Toasted Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Please fillout your system specs. Make sure AHCi is enabled and the SSD is plugged into a AMD or Intel SATA port. Use the Field updater to update the firmware on the SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Uninstall the AMD SATA drivers and install the MSAHCI drivers then try the firmware update again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toorged Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 MS AHCI was installed. Un-installed, rebooted 2x's and both Toolbox or field updater failed. Next suggestion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toorged Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 UPDATE Firmware update worked. Updated the drive for IDE ATAA/ATAPI controllers from AMD Sata controller to Standard AHCI1.0 Serial ATA controller, then downloaded 5.0.5, updated via field updater and it worked. Used Toolbox to update to 5.0.7 Thanks again Toasted, I kept re-installing the driver for the disk drive not the controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
