Honestly didn't expect it to work. So not too dissapointed, but I did give it a try.
No matter what port I tried (out of the 3 that were listed) it just gave me "drive not ready" responses. It was the only drive hooked up to the mobo except for the CD I booted it from. I just unplugged the cables from my other drives but left those cables into the mobo, which I'm guessing is why I got 3 options in the port list..
But either way I tried all ports listed, and nothing but Drive Not Ready.
I just think the firmware has borked the comm board and it either can't communicate anymore, or doesn't know how. I probably wouldn't have lost the drive if I had updated the firmware when I had downloaded it, but I waited and then forgot about it until one day I turn off the PC, turn it on the next, and the drive isn't there anymore..
Even people who so much as reboot Windows have had this happen. It was a big bug with the firmware.
