Then are you saying there are only 2 sata ports and both are no good? Or is another drive using the other port i.e. dvd drive. If yes you have to make sure in the bios you can boot to the drive. Install the pci card and then make sure you can see the drive in the bios on the card.
If the board has an ide port, it might be cheaper to buy an ide dvd- burner and replace the sata one with it if that is the case.
Okay, got the card, installed it, I think I've fixed this particular problem. I will mark as solved, and take my remaining problem over to XP.
