Did you in fact run HDDErase with no luck? If so, then I guess your SSD had an actual memory failure. Sighrus - You mention that you had the same problem and ended up returning. Why do I not see any sort of executable file on it that I could run even if it did boot ? Why does DBan not seem to make the thumb drive bootable.

#Wintv hvr 850 installation cd iso update#

Questions - Could the attempted firmware update have caused this ? From reading on the net I think so.Дid my formatting the 8Meg space destroy it? I am not to happy now as you can imagine. Well it seems to have done SOMETHING - something that screwed up the MBR. Every time I tried it, it kept telling me the process did not complete, as I stated in the opening post.

That process never successfully completed BTW. Now I am going to try connecting it back to the new build and running the Firmware Update utility again. I guess Dban reformats it some other way and I can't just copy the boot files that drdos.bin made back onto it. So I tried using drdos.bin to make it bootable, copied the boot files to a temp folder, ran DBan again which installed the same stuff it did the first time, then copied the boot files back onto it and tried to boot from it. I don't understand what is happening with DBan - it does not seem to be making the drive bootable or putting any executable files on it. I put that thumb drive in the new build and tried to boot from it - got error - no boot disc found. I have view settings set to show hidden and system files. If I look at the contents after running DBan, I don't see any boot files or any. I ran that on another computer and loaded it to a USB thumb drive. If it can't see it, it can't erase it.ДЄs for DBan, I downloaded that too. If I formatted the MBR, I t think that may be why HDDErase does not see it at all.

Now I suspect that I may have hosed it further. It said the SSD had to have a partition so I partitioned it - an 8Meg NTFS partition. So I initialized it and tried running Intel Toolbox. When I had it in the other host computer, I noticed that every time I boot, it comes up in Disk Manager as not initialized. I tried HDDErase - it runs but it does not see the SSD.

When I did manage to run Intel Toolbox, I noted that the serial number is listed as No_CNTX which is indicative of this problem. The SSD does not 'know' that it has more space - the 8Meg is the master boot record.ДЇix is to totally restore it to factory condition as suggested above, using HDDErase or DBan, assuming it is not a hardware failure. Digging around the net, I find that the problem is likely that the Master Boot Record is screwed up.

Can I just install Win 7 and worry about the firmware update later? Once I have the OS running, I can use the Intel Toolbox to update the firmware - hopefully with more success. I want to update the Intel Firwmare before I install anything. Same problem.ДЄm I missing something? Anything else I can try ? I also tried setting everything to AHCI mode, using 2 black SATA ports, 2 red SATA ports and one of each both ways. ДЈ - Enable Legacy mode - To do that I have to set the SATA mode to IDE. I did format it on another machine - NTFS w/ 4K clusters but that's it.Дў - Enable S.M.A.R.T - I don't see that in my BIOS.

Suggested actions are:ДЎ - Disable Drive Password protection - I never set a drive password.

I can boot and the installer runs but no matter what I do in the BIOS, it tells me that the Firmware Update did not complete. I downloaded, burned an ISO image to a CDR. I am trying to update my new Intel X-25M G2 firmware before I do a virgin install of Win 7.
