Replacing Smart Response Technology (SRT) SSD or Target HDD, unknown error fix workaround

[mhytt]

I had an annoying problem when I replaced my 8TB target disk with new one and couldn't anymore accelerate it... After a few days tinkering I found a fix for my problem. This is a workaround to fix unknown error (0xa0040002), that can happen when trying to re-enable caching for the new drive.

1st: return SSD back to normal use

2nd: Go to windows storage manager and format disk to be regular disk GPT or MBR primary partition

3rd: Delete Partition

4th: Re-enable SSD caching via Rapid Storage Technology Interface

5th: Your problem should be fixed now.

Confirmed to work with 2nd gen Intel Core processor with Z77 chipset board using RST version 15.9
