Re: What is wrong with my SATA drive?

Tried removing all the devices. Then removed the IDE cable for my
DVD-drive and disabled everything related to IDE in the bios. Still no
luck.

The only option for RAID in my BIOS is if you want RAID or SATA - which
is set to SATA.

One interesting thing I noted is that when the system starts up it
reports the SATA drive an IDE Hard Disk. However, just bellow this
another line shows it as SATA.

Check your BIOS and turn anything about RAID off.
Also, make sure you don't have a CD-rom drive on
the first ide port.
