| Guest | eSATA & vista sp1 Hi All, Anybody having as I am problems with eSATA devices since installing SP1? My eSATA drives show in the BIOS boot screen but hangs on the Vista drivers loading bard or just beyond on the black screen before the Windows logo. If I restart without the eSATA device connected/powered up Vista loads normally and if I then switch on/plug in the eSATA drive it is not recognised by windows anywhare. I have looked in disk management in the admin folder and the drive is not there. Any ideas folks? Tony |

| Guest | Re: eSATA & vista sp1 You may need to reinstall the SATA driver. There is a known issue concerning the automated reinstallation of a few drivers when upgrading to SP1. Perhaps that is what is going on with your computer.

| Guest | Re: eSATA & vista sp1 Hi, I will try that but as all of the drives in the machine are SATA I can't see how it would cure it. I will try anyway and report back.

I will try anyway and report back. controller as your other drives. Many modern motherboards have two or three SATA controllers, it's entirely possible that all your installed drives are using the first, and your eSATA port is on the second. |
