SSD toolbox

[idata]

I have an intel SSD X25-M. After I installed the toolbox utility which was downloaded from intel website, it is showing the error connecting to the drive.

my motherboard chipset is nvidia 680i chipset (Asus P5N32-E Sli Plus). However, when i took it out of my PC into another PC, it works fine on that PC.

Could anyone tell me the reason? could it because of the sata or IDE controller in the bios?

Is your SYS set to AHCI mode , If not the Intel RST software will not install.

Have you downloaded the Intel SSD Toolbox User Guide? This might give some information on what the problem is. If you haven't here's the link:

My motherboard did not have any ahci mode~

I assume you have been into the BIOS? You should firstly set the BIOS to either AHCI or RAID. If you still have your mobo's manual you might get some guidance on how to do this. You should then do a fresh install of the OS. I assume you have Windows 7 or Vista? If you don't there's not a great deal of point to setting the BIOS to AHCI or RAID. If your mobo doesn't have an AHCI or RAID mode then it must be ancient. One option is to buy an Intel RAID controller PCI card which will enable you to choose RAID before you install the OS.
