A8N-E SATA speed

I have an A8N-E motherboard with the latest BIOS (1013, IIRC); it claims to have onboard SATA capable of 3.0GB/sec. I recently added a Seagate SATA drive that also claims to be capable of 3.0GB/sec., but in WinXP+SP2 Hardware Manager the only available transfer modes are 1.5G and PIO.

I installed the latest nForce drivers from the nVidia Web site, but there has been no change in the displayed transfer speed options. When I run the speed test, the sustained speed is little higher than that of an old ATA100 drive in the same machine.

Why no 3.0GB/sec?
