TRIM update hosed my Windows 7 install

Just did the firmware update and it hosed my Windows 7 installation. The updater showed a successful firware update. Initially the computer booted just fine, but once I was within Windows it installed some drivers and asked for a reboot. That's when the trouble started. Now the drive won't boot Windows 7 anymore. I don't know if it's a Dell problem or Intel problem. The Dell BIOS claims a SMART error. I have a Dell XPS 8000.

I thought I was using the Intel AHCI driver too.... check the driver propertes detail page. Bet it's the Microsoft driver. Which is provided by Intel but it is still the original one that came with Windows 7.

Why do you think the problem lies with MSAHCI driver? If you read this thread, you would know that is not the issue. I and many others here and elsewhere used the MSAHCI driver that came in Windows 7 without any problem updating the firmware.

As this thread is now 10 pages long I can't be bothered to read it all, so please forgive me if this has already been answered. What exactly does "bricked" mean? The drive is totally unrecoverable? Does a secure erase not restore the drive or is it really dead?

Does this mean that we will be getting 'My Intel SSD is a Rock' stickers?
