Hi,
What options do you have set in the BIOS for the sata
controller ? Do you have anything like "compatibility" mode ? If so,
try turning it off and put it in the "advanced" or "native"
mode. Also I found with some older ICH4 controllers (dont know
about 5) if you disabled the secondary IDE controller in the BIOS,
"bad things" happen. If you have it off, try turning it back on.
