Previously my Western Digital SATA HDD had problem. I replaced a new WD3200AAJS one from dealer. I connected that HDD to one SATA port in my Gigabyte GA-8S655FX motherboard. The BIOS settings for SATA were set as below: Sis Serial ATA Controller [Enabled] (available options: Enabled or Disabled) Sis Serial ATA Mode [RAID] (available options: IDE or RAID) After PC powered up. BIOS reported it detected the HDD. However, as Windows XP Professional was running, I couldn't find the SATA HDD from explorer. I used System Management Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management tool and forced it to scan new hardware but no new HDD found. Also, I used Device Manager -> Drive icon and clicked to force hardware change scanning. Still no new HDD found. Although there exist probability that the new HDD was faulty but I would like to ask what can I do further before I return it to the dealer for another HDD ? Tks! PS: My motherboard has 2 SATA ports. I'd tried both of them but the results were the same.

The driver is not for the disk, but for the controller on the mainboard. The disk does indeed not need a driver. Arno

Tks! The suggestion works. But I would like to know if the IDE option has anything related to IDE i.e. will my SATA perform as SATA-I (the board only supports SATA-I) HDD or its performance is no difference as an ordinary IDE HDD ?

I read the driver manual, it said driver is needed if I want to install XP or 2000 on the SATA disk. I wonder without the driver, will the SATA disk performs as a real SATA disk.

Yep, like I said, that setting just affects how it looks to the OS, not how it works at the hardware level. Its only purpose is to avoid the need to load a driver to see the drive at the OS level.
