Yeah thats the thing with SATA drivers ... they're real finicky. Which drivers did you use (mobo? seagate?)

You might want to see if the AOpen site has updated SATA drives -- the problem is NOT the harddrive but rather the mobo... it doesnt have native chip based support for SATA and requires 3rd party drivers ... except AOpen's drivers for SATA arent so great. Again its not the HDD but rather the mobo

okay ill check aopens website

darkd3vil · 07-18-2004, 07:46 AM

ASUS should be good although if you've got an iNtel system you might want to go Abit.
