I have the above motherboard and have recently tried to install a Sata PCI controller card, the card came with a cd for XP drivers etc and when installed windows sees it as a raid controller, not sure if that is right or not ?

Anyway my main problem is that I wish to use the card in dos mode, and i just cant seem to get the comp to ackowledge its there?

in case it helps I am trying to flash a sata drive with this card. rather than use the m/b onboard sata.

a thought that has crossed my mind is that the bios might be too new to recognise the card ? and that i am better using an old comp ?

Any ideas, thoughts are welcome.
 
Hi,

the drive i was flashing was not talking to the onboard nforce chipset, so i was advised to buy a cheap pci card .... install it and flash the drive.
