Symptom: Drive is not recognized as an Intel 240GB drive.
Toolbox home screen
Drive Summary section shows
Model: Unknown 240G
Firmware Version: 400i
Serial Number: is correct
SMART Summery section:
Drive Health: blank Estimated life remaining: blank
(SMART drive health and SMART Estimated life remaining are not available when the
SMART Feature is disabled)
Intel SSD Optimizer button in upper corners is "grayed out" not gray just not visibly available
Using all SATA ports on the DX79SI board with RAID configured. SSD and CD/DVD in 6gbs ports and recognized in BIOS, Four 500GB dries in 3GB ports and configured for raid 10, recognized in BIOS
Option ROM version 3.0.1.1370 AND RSTe version 3.0.0.3011 (tried to update to 3.0.0.3020 without success, program runs without error but checking help, about still shows 3.0.0.3011)
I hope to get this working as I have two other i7920 boxes with SSD's and it works on them. I've read a little about the sata chipset, which by the way was a pain when I loaded the OS on the SSD, had to resort to the old F6 method, but it's not the quite same in WIN7 64bit
Any suggestions, Ideas?

Sounds like same problem as I had.
Have a look here: /thread/28097?tstart=0 http://communities.intel.com/thread/28097?tstart=0
It's your RSTe driver that causes the problem. You need to manually install the non-enterprise RST driver through the device manager.

Thanks for the info and link. I'll read up on the work around and give it a try.
Are you using sata configured as RAID in BIOS?
