When using a sata drive, in a non raid enviornment you need to disable
raid in bios. If using the drive as a single drive you need to tell bios
to treat the drive as ide, which by disabling sata in bios you are
probably doing. Im guessing at that, but it would make sense to me.
Some boards do require a sata driver, not all. Go to manufacturer web
site and check. Dont get the raid driver confused with a sata driver.
