how to make i-RAM play nice with ICH10R?

[tiro_uspsss]

have a i-RAM here.. would like to use it with my rig (asus sabertooth x58). everytime I plug it in, disk manager sees it, asks to format it, & then 'loses' it - the device gets dropped. its still visible in device manager, but not disk management.

what gives??

edit: ICH10R is in ACHI mode, if that helps..

I've tried different modes (IDE, Enhanced etc) I've also tried a different SATA cable - no change

Is there jumpers on the iram like there is on the acards?
