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.

OK... I think your correct. When I disable SATA in bios, things seem to work better. There is nothing for RAID in the bios, is that unusual?
So, in the future, how do I determine if I will need a SATA driver? The driver, do they come with the computer/new mobo or come with a hard drive? no drivers came with my new hard drive so I take it that normally they would come with the computer or mobo, right?
