Shambler

OK, I went ahead and bought a SATA drive, WD2000JS.

My motherboard is a Asus A7N8X Deluxe rev 1.04 Bios 1001.G

I have the drive plugged in using a SecureConnect cable which should supply power and communication to the drive.

I believe my motherboard is SATA I not SATA II so I have selected 150MB/s maximum transfer rate on the drives jumpers.

The problem is that the SATA detect on boot up cannot see the drive at all.

I have installed the Data LifeGuard tools from WD site but this cannot see the drive either...I have checked that the drive is plugged in OK.

Any ideas? -.-

[EDIT] Just updating SATA drivers...Made no difference, updating BIOS now...
