Re: can't get SATA working on P4G8x Deluxe

I can't seem to get SATA drives to be recognized on my P4G8x Deluxe
board.  Can you help?  Here's this situation:
5.  When I get to Windows, Windows does not recognize the SATA drive.
What's more, in Device Manager the "Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATA Raid
controller" is "disabled" and whenever I try to enable it my PC
instantly reboots.  I've seen two things happen after that reboot:
Either (1) the PC just reboots, and everything looks the same as
before, including the Silicon Image controller is still disabled, ...
or (2) the PC stops on reboot because it is no longer able to
recognize the existence of the boot primary IDE drive (nor the SATA)
and I don't have an alternative set up (e.g., no boot floppy in floppy
drive).  In the latter case, I can undo this damage by disconnecting
the SATA drive completely and rebooting; somehow that enables the BIOS
to see the IDE HD again.

6. BTW, the Samsung sp2504c has jumper than can be used to force it to
limit itself to 1.5Gbps instead of automatically adjusting up to
3.0Gbps if supported.  I haven't played with that because it seems the
drive is seen by the Sil Img firmware already.
