Unless you Enabled SATA AHCI Mode and installed ACHI drivers during the Windows 7 install you more than likely wont be able to 'Hot Plug' your Dock with E-SATA. There are a couple of options. (1.) Get out your Motherboard Manual or download one, read about enacting ACHI Mode then re-install Windows 7 following MB Manuals instructions. (2.) Google 'Activate AHCI after OS is installed' Edit: See next post (3.) Turn off PC, plug E-SATA cable in to Dock and PC, Insert desired HDD, connect Dock to power supply and turn it on, Restart PC.

Go to My Computer. Enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps: 1.Exit all Windows-based programs. 2.Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

Go to My Computer. Sounds like mob driver would be best do not want to face a[ 3rd] another insatall. I don't even remember a prompt for AHCI, but was dumb on the function.

Another issue- but my USB, links were lost?? & update/reinstall drivers, blogs, etc., offered fixes that were useless-any idea why. I recently purchased this docking station as well. I have it hooked up to my eSata port but can't seem to get it to recognize the hard drive despite the registry change. (Was set at 3, changed it to 0, tried both with AHCI enabled) After enabling the AHCI mode from the BIOS the docked hard drive now shows up during the boot sequence, but still does not get recognized in Windows.

The manufacturer's driver install is quite pathetic (not even labeled correctly) and no instructions for the two apps it installs. Does this method work with unformatted drives? Or should I format it with a regular port and then make the attempt. Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

I have tried all the things above but nothing works. So yes, I have come to the conclusion that its the lack of the appropriate software/drivers.

The unit seems your usual non-descript from china, not even a name for the manufacturers:-( Have any of you guys had any luck finding a solution? Many Thanks Robin.
