    Hello, i've recently bought an aspire 5739G and i can't seem to get the esata port to work with an external rack. It works fine on 2 desktops, one running on windows 7 32bit. The notebook has win 7 64 bit, i can't see any sign of the external HDD in the BIOS but when i launch Intel Matrix Storage Manager it's in the list. If i plug/unplug the hdd intel matrix storage also detects this.

    I should mention that when i plugged in the hdd for the first time, windows installed some drivers, and a certain "Volume0" appeared under hard drive tab in the device manager, but i still can't access the drive.
