Windows 8 and Intel MSata driver incompatability.

idata — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 13:30:05 GMT

As a MS Gold partner I have the Windows 8 that is released to Manufactors and so its no longer a beta install.

As it is, installing windows 8 to this drive takes around 6 hours to complete and once completed windows 8 works fine while its on the desktop but rebooting takes 4 hours to get back to the desktop.

I have a MSi Windpad 110W with a Intel 310 SSD msata and AMD chipset.

I have already tried the disable windows volume shadow copy service and that does not help in the slightest. At this point most Microsoft partners I have talked with have just recommended me to trash the Intel solid state drive and instead go with drive with a sandforce controller as they work with Windows 8.

Has Intel got a update yet for this? I would prefer to stick with Intel than some other type.

Very interested to hear if this gets fixed as I have the same drive and the same problem.

No worries Jim. I fixed the problem by replacing the Intel drive with a competitors one.

Windows 8 is purring along nicely.
