Can't use SSD Toolbox on my X25-M ??

Hello,

I have just setup my new computer with Win7 installed on a WD Velociraptor 300GB and an intel SSD X25-M 160GB where I installed Flight Simulator. When I first launched Windows 7, it did not show my SSD in "My Computer" and I had to go to "Disk Management" to select the SSD Drive and "activated" it in NTFS. Now everything seems fine.

Now, I wanted to instal the SSD Toolbox to optimize my drive. In the bios, all SATA drives are set with IDE. Unfortunately, when I launcg the SSD Toolbox, it says that the SSD drive is not compatible with the tool..... what's going on ?

Thank you

Greg

.... but everybody says they changed their BIOS to IDE ?

I f I really need to change my BIOS settings to AHCI, will this affect anthing in my installation or is it really safe to change the BIOS settings to AHCI ? Also, do I have to keep it to AHCI all the time ? Nothing toi change in Win7 ?

Thank you

I have just my BIOS settings to AHCI (after having modify the Win7 registryaccordingl). My computer runs fine but STILL, the toolbow says "this tool is not supported on the selected drive"......

I dont know, maybe there is a problem with the toolbox too. Anyway with windows 7 you dont need the toolbox. Trim is supposed to work automatically.

Have you updated to the new firmware?
