Most motherboard manufacturers provide the necessary drivers on the driver
CD that comes with your motherboard (at least Asus does), along with a
utility to write the drivers to a floppy so they will be recognized.
The drive manufacturer will not typically have the drivers, as they differ
according to the SATA chipset(s) on a particular motherboard.
If the necessary drivers and utility are not on the mobo driver CD, try
searching around the Epox site. I'm sure somebody here who owns a 9NDa3J can
guide you.
If this mobo has two SATA chipsets (many do), make sure you get the drivers
for the chipset to which your drive is attached.
