Also: what BIOS mode is the SATA controller operating in? The SATA firmware in
some PCs implement various "weird" modes, including "RAID" (no, not really
hardware RAID, just some kind of half BIOS half MS-Windows driver software
RAID hack), Make sure the SATA controller is in AHCI mode and not in some
other mode. If it is in AHCI mode, it might just work out-of-the-box.
