Looks like I screwed up and got into some new tech before it was ready.. Oh well.. Here we go. Praying you guys can help me:
The computer: G55 thunderbolt edition
The OS Windows 8
The issue: I have tried to connect two different thunderbolt drives to the system. A buffalo and a LaCie. Both spin up, a tone from windows says it sees it. However the drive does not show up (Yes it was formatted to NTSF via USB 3 before I tried this).
In Device manager, under STANDARD SATA AHCI CONTROLLER I am told windows cannot find enough resources to run this and I will need to disable another device in order to use it.
The problem is that some of these are advertised to have Thunderbolt, even reviews have stated taht as well, but it was always mistaken for the Display Port, which is probably the same situation you're in.
8700K / Noctua U12S / Maximus X Hero / 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz / EVGA GTX 1080 Ti / Seasonic Prime 650W / 4 x 1TB SSD / 970 Pro 512GB M.2 / Game Zero Headset / K95 Platinum / Logitech G502 / Win 10 x64/ ViewSonic XG2701 1080p 144Hz
Yeah but if it has a sticker it should be thunderbolt...display port has a little lightning inside a square engraved above the port. And yes since July there are G55 with thunderbolt but not in all regions.Even Marshall said it. http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?17015-G55-Thunderbolt-clarification
So you most probably have a thunderbolt display...and I don't have a clue how to help you. Sorry, will look into it...but my first thought is windows 8 drivers...
Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Yes I do have the blue and white sticker. There is no doubt the system had Thunderbolt.. If it actually supports it is another thing.
So with that question answered.. Any other ideas? I'll try to screen shots soon
I'm getting a code 12 in device manager every time I try to plug in a Thunderbolt Drive.. I'm curious does anyone have a G55 with Thunderbolt that is actually WORKING?!

Infact, for thunderbolt in windows system, driver need to allocate resource to devices. So if it show "cannot find enough resources", it should be the problem of drivers. Try to install the device driver instead of using windows inbox driver.
