HI Guys
One of the issues I encountered with my asrock c226ws problems was a failed firmware update to one of my pliant SSD's (HP Branded) its a MO0800FBRWD - 800gb MLC drive. The computer failed to restart and seemed to screw the firmware update up, the other disk managed to recover (I have 2 of them) however this one is being stubborn and nothing I do seems to recover it.
I have managed to get it seen using a h200 hba but only when I unplug it when initialising (yes it gets weirder)
If I hot plug it within windows.. and look at event viewer (filtered for P822 events) then when I insert it it says
A SAS physical drive located in bay 0 was removed. The drive can be found in box 0 which is attached to port 4E of array controller P822 [Embedded].
When I unplug its (yep this is weird) I get 2 event entries:-
A SAS physical drive located in bay 0 was inserted. The drive can be found in box 0 which is attached to port 4E of array controller P822 [Embedded].
A SAS physical drive located in bay 0 was removed. The drive can be found in box 0 which is attached to port 4E of array controller P822 [Embedded].
Has anyone got any suggestions of what I could maybe do to force the thing a) to rewrite the firmware (hard as it cant be seen) or b) bring the thing back to life
or am i now the proud owner of an expensive paperweight? I wanted to use the 2 as a scratch / temp drive for video and photoshop / lightroom..
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Steve
