I have seen this problem reported with other disks, mainly SSDs. It appears to be a failure of the drive's controller. Get it replaced under warranty.

What firmware version is on the drive?

Apologies for the problems you are having with your X-25M.

If the problem continues, please RMA the drive for replacment.

FYI: "Intel BootLoader" and a drive size of 8MB typically means that the firmware cannot be found.

I have an Asus M2npv-vm motherboard running Windows XP Pro and I see exact same issues. The drive is an Kingston SSD 96 GB. I worked with Kingston and the RMA the first device. Without any explanation of what they did, they sent me a new drive. The new drive has the exact same problem I can only see 7.84 MB of the total 96 GB. Did you go with a different vendor than Kingston, such as the Kingston was not working and another vendor 's SSD worked?

Thanks,

Matt
