SY-PEX40008 with SSD Primary Drive Problems

I just switched my primary drive to an SSD (Crucial CT500BX100) and upon re-installing Win7 x64, I cannot get the drivers for this PCI-E card to function - there were no issues with multiple HDDs and the card previously. I get an error code 10 (device cannot start), even though the drivers successfully install. I have tried running MS' FixIt program, and even re-installing Windows and trying to install the driver before doing ANY Windows updates, all to no avail

The card uses the SIL3124 processor.

I *really* hope someone can help out on this. I don't understand why this would occur - it was *always* properly detected by Windows as an Unknown Device, and I just had to point the device to the driver and all was fine. Now Windows doesn't even see it unless I select ADD LEGACY HARDWARE and then specify the driver.

FWIW, i am not running it in RAID.

Thanks!

 

I think you're mis-understanding - the SSD is my primary drive, *not* connected to the Syba - the Syba just has HDDs connected to it. I meant I have previously had different primary HDDs and had no problems installing the Syba. This is the first SDD I have used.

 

Yes, it's an Asus Sabertooth Z77 with the latest BIOS. As I said, all was fine until I switched my primary drive to the SSD - I have no doubt at all, if I switched it back to the HDD I was using (which still has Win7 on it), it would work just fine.

 

Hello?! How much clearer can I be on things????!

EVERYTHING WORKED FINE UNTIL I SWITCHED FROM AN HDD TO AN SSD AS MY PRIMARY DRIVE! Windows did NOT detect it during installation as it previously had - SAME installation disc. The ONLY thing that changed was using an SSD and not an HDD!
