I use the abobe board with an X2 3800, and a 160GB SATA drive connected to the SATA II controller and it all works fine.
I bought two 500GB WD SATA drives the other week for storage to replace some of my old 200GB IDE drives, the computer picks up the drives fine and windows found the new hardware and installed it no problem. The drives are connected to the onboard SATA I controller. As soon as I start to write data to the drives, it copies 300/400Mb and then the machine freezes completely. I have to press the restart button on the machine. The second time it did this I had to repair windows as it damaged the installation.
Any ideas? I installed the latest SATA drivers from the ASRock website.
Cheers
