    Hi guys,

    I'm not sure if my esata drivers are installed or not on Vista. Basically when i plug in 2tb drive with the esata cable it lights up but i don't see the drive in 'my computer'. It works fine with usb.

    I tried installing the matrix driver and intel turbo memory driver from the sager driver page ( http://64.208.175.44/pages/notebooks/download.cfm?ProductType=8660) but it just says my computer does not meet the minimum specs required :confused:

    In device manager under IDE/ATA controllers i can see the screen attached. Also I looked in the bios and the sata setting is set to IDE. If I change it AHCI windows doesn't start.
