Enter the "Integrated Peripherals" BIOS setup page and make sure the VT8237 SATA controller is enabled. Also check if there's an option anywhere for choosing between raid and non-raid modes, and choose non-raid. (I have the exact same mobo, but mine is running 24/7 as a file server at another location, so I can't experiment with it right now.) > Can the linux driver detect drives that the BIOS can't?

Linux should detect the drives even if the firmware didn't. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
