eSATA & Vista

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!
 
Did you install a SATA hard drive in the enclosure?

Hi,

Thanks for replying. Yes, SATA drives are installed. Everything
works fine under USB. Since the BIOS sees it during the POST, it is
not the cable or anything. It must be something with Vista.

Also, there is nothing regarding JMicron in my device manager.....is
there supposed to be??

We know how you feel: we're kinda getting fed up reading about it ;->

Especially when you post twice on the same subject within a
five-minute interval
 
Try the following:

1. Right-click on Computer and select Manage.
2. Click once on Disk Management to highlight it.
3. Then from the Computer Management toolbar,
click on Action > Rescan Disks.

Tried that one Carey, no luck there......just really weird. BIOS sees
it but Vista does not. No Jmicron anything in Device Manager. Is
there supposed to be? Is it drivers? Or maybe it just does not work
with this MB, although I've seen others get it to work.........

It should not be a BIOS setting since it displays fine during the
POST.......

Thanks everyone for your comments thusfar.....

On my P5K installation CD, there are drivers for JMicron.

My problem is that I've either lost or whatever the manual / driver
disk for my P5B. If you have one, maybe you can send it to me, it
would REALLY help me. Maybe that is my answer??? Although when I
built the machine I used that CD, but I've re-installed Vista a couple
of times.....

Thanks for your help.....

I might add, that in my Device Manager, there is not even a Jmicron
item or anything listed......not even a SCSI anything. Just my IDE /
SATA drives. There is one SCSI drive within the IDE/SATA listing
though. But no Jmicron items in the list........

Also, my drives are 500GB WD (2 of them). My goal is to do RAID on
this external enclosure, which works fine under USB.

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?
