Wiper .exe information

I had the same problem. Changing the controller driver to the standard micorosft ACHI driver worked for me. Zane gave me that tip.

I am glad it worked for you

[Rod]

yes, thanks again.

The MS ACHI driver is old - says 2006. Is their a newer one we should be using? which one are you?

thanks

My MS driver is also dated 2006. As of less than a year ago, that was what MS was shipping.

The M28 uses a Samsung controller that does not support TRIM thus the wiper utility does not see it or work with it. Sorry.

When I use the performance restore utility, the prompts show up then when I hit to run, it returns message in the cmd promt panel, no drives detected??

How is it not finding my drive when its the main C:drive and im running the wiper software from the same drive as i want to use it on?? Not using raid, single mode drive only, why wont it detect and run. Using Win 7-64bit ultimate, have the latest firmware the 1916fw has been done, the performace restore utility doesnt detect my drive??

Any way to get this to run?? The drive is slow loading now terrible speeds, worse then old 5400rpm hard drive.

Have you tried running Wiper in Administrator mode?

I have Lenovo ThinkPad T60 and Torqx 128gb with 1916FW, win 7 64bit. I tried to use wiper (patriot.exe) but it took way too much time (hours).

Solution:

I changed the bios setting (sata mode from AHCI to COMPATIBILITY). And now wiper works perfectly.

Is it safe to stop the performance restore utility once it has been started?

Where can the wipe utility be downloaded from? I don't see it under support.

thanks,

Taylor
