\\.PHYISICALDRIVE0: Detected as a secondary drive However when scanning for the drives I see this from the SSD Manager: Querying devices. The comment from reminded me that I have also tried the Kingston SSD Manager and that also does not see my SSD. But the tools still don't see the drive and I still can't update the firmware. I did steps 1 and 2 on my El Capitan system. Update the firmware using the Kingston tools.Copy the Kingston Linux image onto the SSD drive.Is there anything special I should be doing to get the software to see the drive? Without this software it seems you can't update the drives firmware.Īs per a comment below from it should also be possible to update the firmware through the USB port of an OS X system ( SV300S37A - Solid-State Drive SSDNow V300). I followed these instructions and the SSD toolbox still doesn't see my drive. Go to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers>AMD SATAĬontroller or Intel SATA Controller. To do this, right click onĬomputer and choose manage. The Intel RST driver and revert back to the Microsoft default AHCIĭriver and then run the toolbox. If your computer has an Intel based system, you may need to disable It states "No SandForce drives found" or "No Kingston drives found". I also discovered on the Kingston support site this: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (on a Lenovo CIH61M v1.0 MB from 2011'ish) sees it and I can copy files to/from it. I just installed a new Kingston 300V 120GB SSD.
