Toolbox 2.0.1 shows drives and I can click between them. It also works on "exit" and "refresh" buttons but none of the menu buttons work and are greyed out.
Config; Intel SSD 120gb X25-M G2 working fine on port 0. Have one partition at 83GB and leaving rest empty as suggested on Internet. I suspect firmware current but tried Cystaldiskinfo and it doesn't see any drives. Vista Device Manager doesn't have the "Device Instance ID" selection shown on this site but one of the ID labels had this extension 2CV1. I assume the remainder was cut off. Using MS drivers.
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H AM2 mobo. Bios updated. AHCI mode with MS driver, Vista 64bit. Have second AHCI plate drive for storage. No RAID. Superfetch, hibernation and defrag disabled.
Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You really don't need to make a 80GB partition on a 120GB SSD... There is no benefit as it sets a hard limit on avaliable space.
The issues are due to the drivers:
* I do not believe the MS or AMD AHCI drivers allow pass through of the SMART or drive information.
* The Vista AHCI drivers do not support TRIM.
