I have a Rampage II Gene motherboard with the latest 1701 BIOS. I am running Windows 7 Professional. I am trying to connect an esata external drive to the JMicron 363 esata port. I have checked the bios and the JMicron controller is set to Enable, and I have selected the option IDE + AHCI mode (my problem is not resolved by selecting solely IDE which is the only other option).

Further, I do not have the JMicron controller listed in my Device Manager. Not under Storage Controllers, where I'd expect it or anywhere else. Also, if I Disable the JMicron controller in the BIOS I see no changes on the Devices listed in the Device Manager.

I have tried installing the drivers for the JMicron controller from both the Asus site and the JMicron site. I have tried several versions (the JMicron site offers two versions one appended with _esata - I have tried both variants neither work). In all instances when I try to install the driver the install is halted with the prompt "no jmicron jmb36x scsi adapter found"

I'm stumped, so I'm turning to you for ideas...

Thanks,
Matt

As is so often the case the solution was something quite simple. I had previously only Restarted the computer. When I instead did a complete Shut down then rebooted I then saw the JMicron controller in my Device Manager with Yellow symbols. Then I was able to install the JMicron drivers and then rebooted the esata drive was there just like it should be. A week of searching around and trying aimlessly for solutions only to have it resolved so easily. Wow computers are fun!
