Hi!
I have an Asus P5B, Vista 32Bit Home Premium. I have something
connected to the eSATA port. When the system boots the BIOS sees it
fine. Vista however, will not recognize it.......everything is proper
in the BIOS, as the BIOS sees it upon boot.
The P5B uses the Jmicros controller. That should be up to date.
Additionally, this is hooked to an external enclosure, Xtrastore
3.5".....
Any suggestions? I'm totally fed up with trying to resolve this.
Much Thanks!
In addition to Rob's advice above, have you set the drive to
RAID or AHCI in the JMicron bios? By default, the drive
will configure as IDE, and Vista should see it. If you set it
as RAID or AHCI, you need to install the JMicron driver
from the Asus CD. Also, what does Device Manager say?
If you have no IDE hard drives, the eSATA drive will appear
as Drive 0 in Disk Management. I have found that for the OS
to see the eSATA drive, it must be connected and powered on
before booting the system.
Let me add something I forgot to. I had an entry under the ATA/SATA
in the Device Manager. I was some SCSI drive. It did not show in the
Computer Management no matter how many re-freshes I did. If that is
the drive, why can I not access it?
