hello joe and others,
(i hope no one here minds me hijacking this thread; since i was directed here by @joe_intel i though i might as well continue posting here. my original thread is at this location),
i tried your suggestion and the following happened:
- tried to disable the IMD-0 device in device manager, but option grayed out
- uninstalled the microsoft drivers, rebooted, device still there
- while installing INVM110CD.exe, installation tells me 'the drivers you are about to install are older than the ones already installed'
- installing anyway
- drivers installed, tried going into the device manager - IMD-0 still operated by Microsoft drivers, 'Disable device' option still greyed out
- tried removing the drivers, a restart is required
- upon system start the OS installs drivers for an unknown device - it is the IMD-0 device getting the same microsoft drivers, still can't disable the device in device manager
even though in my opinion nothing has really changed, i ran SSD Toolbox 3.2.3 just for the hell of it, and there was no difference, and after a reinstall i tried it with 3.1.6. still no difference.
i might be doing something wrong though. any ideas why i can't disable the device in device manager? the list of drivers IMD-0 uses is as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\disk.sys (Microsoft Corporation, version 6.1.7600.16385)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\DzHDD64.sys (Lenovo, version 1.1.3.0 built by: WinDDK)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\fltsrv.sys (Acronis, version 1.3.0.1022)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\partmgr.sys (Microsoft Corporation, version 6.1.7600.16385)
EDIT: also, i just remembered that i did not do a clean install on the new SSD disk, i used intel's Intel Data Migration Software. And in Windows' Disk Manager the 1.37GB IMD-0 drive is visible and now mounted (set as primary partition, no letter & format assigned), but it was unmounted before the turbo memory disk driver.
