    You said that you "can only get to the WebBIOS via F11 then CTRL+H then select the LSI9240"

    Me too, it only works with F11 sequence but still I don't fully understand "Controller BIOS" in webBIOS function.

    MegaCli -AdpSetProp -EnableJBOD 1 -a0


    Didn't change a thing for me, I don't have JBOD function, drive must be first initialised to RAID0 single drive configuration which leads to data loss, then I must make a virtual drive, but if after that I can switch SATA port to Intel controller and data will stay on my disk.
    I want to use LSI ports with hot swap disks, but now even if I make a drive offline before I remove plug from SATA port, remove it and then try again to use it, my disk became unconfigured bad, I can make it unconfigured good but still cannot make it online again without restarting a system.

    Tried MegaOEM too, from some first links in google, it didn't work in Win7 x64 because it's a 16 bit program, under mini xp (from bartCD) it hangs just after executing dos4gw, under volkow commander it results with exception error, could you give a link to this app ?

    About LSI9211 in IR mode (in IT mode Raid don't work ? ), yes I read it before and will eventually will do it if it's the only way to make it work like I want. Is it safe and I can revert back changes and flash to 9240 after that ? I read about some PAL initialisation errors.
    If I understand correctly, first I must downgrade my LSI 9240-8i firmware, then make some procedure with sas2flash and then in the end I could flash to latest official 9211 firmware ? link

    After that I will have working and easy pass through mode, but what are negative aspects of it ? Not working smart and something else ?
    Latest MSM for 9240 on LSI site seems to bea lot newer than for 9211.

    EASEUS recognised my all data , sad that I cannot bring it back without using another HDD, so I will do it later.
