Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

Anyone?

Getting desperate now, I've run out of ideas?

========================================

check if your mobo is actually this:
GA-EX58-UD5 (rev. 1.0) - GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - Driver

if so, install the Intel SATA RAID Driver for your operating system:

if it is XP 32 bit:

Download from :
Asia Asia(China) America Europe Europe(Russia) : ftp / http</td><td bgcolor="#ffffff">8.9.0.1023</td><td align="right" bgcolor="#ffffff">13.10 MB</td></tr></tbody></table>


if it is not XP 32 bit , find, download, and install the one that matches your situation.

That's what solved my case, when I wanted AHCI for my drive after everything was OK as IDE, on a GA-EX58-UD3R (ver 1.6)

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

its not intel ports its jimicron ports so you need to download jmicron driver "gsata 2" because he puts in jimicron

please note the OP statement

"... having issues getting the intel (blue) sata ports to work with my Crucial 64gb SSD......works 100% ok in the jmicron ports (white)... "

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

I already tried with that driver, and also the latest Intel one.....still no joy.

Whenever I plug the SSD into one of the blue ports, the pc will not boot. It gets to the AHCI driver and then stops and hangs when it cannot see the SSD.

I can use the white ports no problem (that is set to AHCI also), which works fine.

I can use the blue ports in IDE mode ok, just not with AHCI, which is strange. I can also plug a different drive into the blue ports and boot ok with AHCI, then hotplug the SSD in and it can see and use it ok.

Really strange problem this. When I installed W7 64bit I could not get the blue ports to see the SSD at all, so installed with it plugged into the white ports, hoping to switch it over once installed.

I'm lost as to what to try next?

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

i think you need to update the ssd frimware which ssd you have "specific model" or this ssd unmatch the gsata 2 gigabyte jmicron

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

The firmware on the SSD is the Crucial latest. Also, the SSD can be seen and accessed if hotplugged once W7 is running.

Its the Intel ports where I am having issues, not the white ports.

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

you install the windows on jmicron and having problems with intel ahci ????????????????????????????

[markdobbo]

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

Yes but the Jmicron was set to AHCI before I did the install.

The Blue (Intel) ports would not detect the SSD, so I was hoping to swap over to the blue once installed.

Once W7 loads I can hotswap and use the SSD, it just wont detect it with the AHCI driver before W7 loads.

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

so what i understand from you that the ssd canot detect on intel blue (ports) (in bios there is no detection) and its detect on white!!!!!!!
mybe change try to change to another blue ports mybe the motherboard is the problem or try to enable intel ports on bios

[markdobbo]

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

Already done all that, it will not work in AHCI on any of the blue ports, works fine on IDE, and will detect ok in AHCI mode once W7 has loaded from another HDD if I hotplug it.

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

try to put another ssd /hdd in blue port and then try if its not work the mainboard has a problem (try clear cmos and look at intel port in bios or 2009/08/11 Intel SATA RAID Driver

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

I dont have another SSD to try.

My Samsung F3 and Maxtor HDD both work fine in the blue ports (ahci enabled).

[gasan]

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

try the ssd on white ports and see if that works

[markdobbo]

Re: GA EX58 UD5 - AHCI problem

It works fine in the white ports, already stated that earlier in this thread
