***Asus Rampage III Extreme Owners Thread***

Heys guys ... any word or advice on how to hook up my Crucial C300 64GB Satat6gb SSD to the Marvell 9128 controller? I keep on trying to load Win7 to it, but during the install process, it is not detected when connected to the SATA6 plugin. I can get it to be seen when I connect it to SATA II connectors, but I want to use the SATA6G with the Marvell controller. Any advice?

This is driving me nuts!!

Again, I was hoping someone could comment on this problem. After reading some more, it seems that some people are having a difficult time with this controller on this motherboard. Could clearing the BIOS and then flashing to the latest version (1102), using the default settings make the controller *see* the C300 64GB drive? In the beginning when I hooked up the SATA III cable to the SSD, the BIOS recognized the hard drive in the list of hard drives. I made my DVD/CD-writer the first boot device, the C300 my second and then disabled the third device. But after booting into my Win7 DVD, Windows couldn't find a hard drive!! What the heck happened? Now it seems no matter what combination of settings I use with the Marvell SATA 6G controller, I can NOT get Windows 7 64-bit operating system to load onto my SSD using the 6G port. What am I missing here?

Totally confused in Tok
