Kingston ssd firmware update tool install#

The firmware update package actually uses the older toolbox which does not require installation. If this is the same file that you used, please contact our support so we will be able to get more information about what is happening and get the toolbox installed. Depending on your computer settings with the User Access Control you may be prompted to allow the application to run. The installation process should be fairly straight forward and the file currently available for download can be ran directly to begin the installation.

We apologize for the difficulty experienced trying to install and use the new Kingston SSD Toolbox. A little involved, but I hope this helps you guys! VOILA! The updater will do its thing as intended in just under 30 seconds. Reboot, let windows install the necessary AHCI drivers, reboot again, and run the Kingston toolbox as administrator. From there you should see a choice for SATA mode, change that from IDE to AHCI. Once those registry changes are made, reboot the machine and enter your mobo's bios configuration(every manufacturer is different, so you'll have to look up the instructions for your specific brand) and look for 'Power Managment' or 'Peripherals'.

There is a workaround(what i wound up doing), but you should be comfortable with editing a couple registry entries before attempting it. AHCI has to be initialized at the time of the OS install. The Kingston drive that you are trying to update MUST be running in AHCI mode for the firmware push to work, not IDE. The culprit is a bios setting on your mobo for integrated peripherals. Ok everyone, i had the same issue for over a week now and after some serious Googling, i solved the problem and successfully updated my v300.
