Hi,

Your drive is not recognized properly. This might be controller or driver related. Could you please provide additional information?

It's connected to one of the Jmicron SATA ports on my Abit AB9 Pro motherboard.

Maybe you can find some useful information here: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=189057
You may also try to connect the drive to one of the native SATA controllers unless they are configured as RAID.

I wound up re-installing Vista on my computer and hooked up my SH-S183L to one of the Intel Sata ports. It's now recognizing the full name of the drive and I was able to flash it.
