[SOLVED] SATA + F6 = *death*

So before you ask.... the computer is a Dell Dimension 9100. Yes, I already made the floppy that you can obtain here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/.....
You know, the one you need to install the drivers to it will read a SATA drive.... now here is the question....
It gives me 4 options to use:
"Intel (R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
Intel (R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
Intel (R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH6R)
Intel (R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)"
Which friggin one do I use????

it will be one of the first 2
Intel (R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
Intel (R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
i would expect it to be the top one
have you set the sata to run as ide in the bios
when you receive an error message post it in full

After much examination we have discovered that the motherboard needs to be replaced. lol. The ports are toasted. Stupid dell. So yeah, we are having the motherboard replaced, hoping that will fix the problem... (good thing he's still covered under the warrenty). So I'll update what happens with it.

Thanks for replying!
