Thanks Mark for the reply , I hadn't thought about the card posting drives
in the bios, I assumed only the onboard SATA devices would allow you
change the mode in the motherboard's BIOS. I will have a look on Monday to
see if anything has appeared in the BIOS. I guess the default mode in a
SATA6 card would be AHCI but yes worth a check.
Cheers,
Steve
