Acronis Home 2012 will not detect Samsung 830 516GB SSD Drive

Thread needs solution

The media recovery disk will not detect a SamSung 830 512GB SSD, but will detect a Samsung 830 256GB SSD. 256GB Samsung SSD is the C drive and the 512GB is my data drive. But the recovery disk will not detect the 512GB..please help

If the disk was empty, I would recommend to use the add new disk feature of the recovery CD on that disk and see if that fix the issue. If you can, copy the data somewhere else, and then do this...

The drive is not empty and contains data. If I swap the port position of the 256GB with the 215GB. Acronis home 2012 will detect the 512GB, but not the 256GB. It seems the software will only detect the first Samsung disk only. I have an older version of Acronis, ver 11. It works fine and detects both drives.

Maybe the SATA connection is different? Maybe some SATA ports go through a controler (ie SATA III) while the others through another SATA II? Maybe one from one manufacturer, the other one from another?
