Yes, there are more aggressive, and therefore more dangerous, methods you can try since you have to reboot anyway. **EXTREME WARNING:** These commands are fundamentally unsafe... The theory here is to go a level deeper than the SCSI device scan. We will attempt to force the kernel to re-initialize the entire SATA host controller... Here are the steps to run as **root**:

1.  **Find the PCI address of your SATA controller.**
    ```bash
    lspci | grep -i sata
    ```

2.  **Forcibly remove the PCI device from the kernel.**
    ```bash
    echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:17.0/remove
    ```

3.  **Tell the PCI bus to rescan for devices.**
    ```bash
    echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
    ```

4.  **Check if the device was re-detected correctly.**
    ```bash
    cat /proc/partitions
    ```
