I've been trying to update my SSD for the longest time, but it's not working properly. I've been following this guide by OCZ. I followed all instructions and everything goes fine until the screen where it asks Do you want to find target drive(s)?(y/n) after which I input y without hitting Enter afterwards. Then the next line that pops up says Not found any drive. Press any key. and the sequence loops again.
The only preparations required for the firmware update are setting the SATA mode to IDE and changing the boot order to DVD/CD-ROM first. Are there any other settings that may affect the SSD from being "found"? The SSD can still boot Windows, but it has been having BSODs randomly. (Please refer to one of my other unanswered questions relating to the BSODs.) Is my SSD faulty?
I've uploaded a video to YouTube which shows exactly what happens.
Specs:
- Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
- Intel Core i5-760 @ 2.8 GHz
- GELID Silent Spirit CPU cooler
- G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 SDRAM
- Sapphire Xtreme Radeon HD5830 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E
- OCZ Vertex 96GB SATA II SSD
- OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W modular PSU
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
UPDATE 1: I remember two pins on the SSD and searched up their function. From what I found through Google, a jumper must connect them for a firmware update to proceed. After installing a jumper onto the pins, the bootable firmware updater couldn't even detect the drive anymore. I tried switching between AHCI and iDE mode and it still wouldn't work. I tried different combinations of AHCI and IDE mode between the two SATA controllers as well, with no luck. I'm still wondering what else could possibly be the problem.
