Don't worry Adam doesn't read the posts he just has a quick glance and
chooses ones he thinks he knows about so he can score points.
It has been pointed out to him on multiple occasions that he doesn't read
the posts or doesn't understand what the question is but it makes no
difference.
He will just insult you and call you a fanboy now you have pointed out his
error.
Ignore him as he is obviously insane.


On the subject of your question I suspect the answer lies in how does Vista
tell the difference between an eSATA drive and a SATA drive?
I don't know but it may point someone in the right direction to providing a
fix rather than just an explanation if you aren't satisfied with just
ignoring the problem as it shouldn't cause any real trouble.
