Toasted Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Is AHCI enabled? Try refreshing the Drive list. Update drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOMbarash Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've the same issue. My drive (F240) is not detected by the Update Tool. Current firmware is 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 We're aware of the issue of some people not being able to update. We are working with SandForce to resolve this. I have no additional information at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undesirable Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 One other thing to try is right clicking the firmware update tool and "Run as administrator". My drive didn't show up until I did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My drive didn't show up until I did that. I DID IT!!!! Your solution didn't work so i went to properties and at copatibility i set Windows 7 even though i have it installed and i've also checked Run as Administrator and it worked fine. 2 reboots and Firmware version 2.4.. I'm happy though i don't really know the improvements of the firmware.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zedriq Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Sounded promising, but i got no luck when trying this "solution". I just want to know if i have understand anything right, napster? I have to set the compatiblity mode of the updater to "Windows 7" (properties)After clicking okay i have to start the updater as administratorThen my ssd will show up...maybe when clicking the refresh button again. Am i right? That's all i made, but got no luck at the end...my F40 doesn't show up. I need to update it from firmware 1.1 to something newer. :( @Yellowbeard: Is there a chance to get to know when a solution will be available?

Remember you must run it As An Administrator.. That's how i did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedriq Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 so the ideea is to set compatibility mode to windows 7 (try with Vista), Of course i tried some other settings of this pull down menue, but no luck there, too. :( i believe the problem is with the windows maybe if you put your ssd on another system and use it not for booting maybe you will see it with the updater. I think so, too...and i will try to test it with an nForce based system later this day. Will report then. Remember you must run it As An Administrator.. That's how i did it. How can i forget that when written SO OFTEN here in the forums. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedriq Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 plugging it to another system worked well here...maybe it's for some users/systems the only way at this moment. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeba Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hello! - apologies for digging up the old thread but the F40 drive in question is usually hidden deep in the depth of my HTPC! but I decided to upgrade that and thought while it was out I would sort out all the firmware and drivers! I have the same issue... no amount of 'Run as Administrator' or run in 'Win 7' comparability will make the drive appear.... My mainboard is an EVGA nForce 680... which as far as I can see has no AHCI mode..? . but the drive shows up and works fine.... I've also tried using a USB adaptor, a SATA -> IDE adapter.... nothing makes the drive show up. Pointers appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeba Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hello - I've just stripped down my HTPC again and tried upgrading the F40 with the SSD Toolbox... it STILL says there is no update for the drive... its still on 1.1 so I know there are updates.... Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Some F40s were never updated past 1.1. Also, some that can be updated past 1.1 require the use of the manual tool to update them. Due to their age, some cannot be updated with the toolbox. Try the manual tool found in the archived firmware updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeba Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Cheers - appreciate the heads up, don't suppose you have a link do you? I cant seem to find it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeba Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Ahhh I think this maybe the app I already have... is it the 'Corsair_Force_Series_Update_Tool_1.0' - that always says no drive is attached... I've tried it in 3 different machines, win XP, Win 7, Win 8.1, Nforce chipsets, intel chipsets, still nothing. "No Drives Found!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Is AHCI enabled in the BIOS? Have you tried running the firmware updater as admin? Have you tried a different Intel or AMD chipset? Have you tried the generic MSAHCI drivers instead of the IRST or AMD Chipset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
