After having some issues reinstalling ExpressCache on my ASUS K551LN after a fresh Windows install, I thought I'd share what I learned about it.
Tested on ASUS K551LN (SanDisk SSD 24GB) Windows 7 Ultimate x64. The drivers I provide here are the same that came on my notebook, and the same that I used on the proccess.
1. Install Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers.
[link removed, download from intel website]
2. Install ExpressCache drivers.
[link removed, download from intel website]
3. Open the console (Start Menu > Run > cmd) and type diskpart.
4. list disk
5. select disk #
[where # is the number of the SSD disk]
6. clean
7. exit
8. Now move to the directory where ExpressCache is installed. in my case, cd C:\Program Files\Condusiv Technologies\ExpressCache\
9. Type ECCmd -info to check the status. Mine said "HFS volume not mounted", so there's one extra step.
10. Go into Services and stop the ExpressCache service (Start Menu > Run > services.msc)
11. Once stopped, return to the console (or open a new one) and type ECCmd -partition #
[where # is the number of the SSD disk, the same in step 5]
12. If you type ECCmd -info, you should see it running. If you don't, restart and it will be there.
Hope this helps!
