samsung e-sata port, help?

hi,
i have samsung R522 laptop.
it had 320 gb hitachi hdd. i also have 320 gb seagate 7200.3 which i use it by usb port. a week ago i bought intel 80 GB x25-M SSD and an e-sata enclosure to use e-sata external port of my laptop.

Before putting intel x25-M ssd into the laptop , i want to see if the e-sata enclosure works. first i tried with 320gb seagate 2.5' and in 5 or 10 minutes i made it work.then i tried with intel x25-M ssd by enclosure and it just worked fine.

then i put intel x25-m into the laptop and i install new operating system on intel x25-M .then i installed every driver.
But now my laptop does not recognize 320gb seagate or 320gb hitachi by e-sata enclosure. just for 320 seagate hdd it gives me a message like that




and also just for a minute i can see it in device manager like that



any idea how to solve it?

thanks

 

Did you install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager?

You did connect power to your e-SATA enclosure, right?

(either external power supply, or extra USB cable)

 

i already downloaded and installed before.

and an interesting thing is that matrix storage manager recognizes the Seagate HDD with the message which i posted above and a minute later it shows that it is disconnected.this happens all the time when i try to connect the Seagate HDD. i am sure that no problem with a cable exists since it worked before and it is brand-new.

but the things happen with seagate HDD do not happen with Hitachi HDD.
laptop does not say anything when i connect hitachi hdd by enclosure. it does not work totally .

these things already were happening before , i just wrote them now.

yes i use an extra usb power supply for enclosure.

i want to mention that " i was able to make it work when 320gb hitachi was mounted to laptop" but now intel x25-M is mounted. can it be about master or slave configuration? but in that case , there is no jumper on these 2.5' hdd.
any idea?

 

SATA does not use master and slave, so that is not the problem.

I strongly suspect that, if the HDD is visible in Device Manager, then the problem lies with the configuration of the Intel Matrix Storage. If your eSATA enclosure also has a USB port then try using that to see if the HDD is accessible.

yes i can use both hdd by usb port with the same enclosure.

 

What HDD access modes are available in the BIOS and what is the current setting? (Note that changing the mode after Windows is installed may cause a BSOD, but you can change back).

there is just this option:

Native AHCI Mode is "Enabled"​

could you help me by msn or remote program such as teamviewer or something else which you may prefer?
because it is getting so annoying for me not to be able to make it work.
thanks

 

Check out other similar problems. Google for "Intel matrix storage esata problems". Maybe this problem is similar.
