Hello eveyone, I connected a Plextor PX-801SA drive to one of the 2 Gigabyte SATA ports (the urple ones, not the orange ones). Everything worked fine as far as reading was concerned. Yesterday, I installed plextools, wich I find sufficient for my writing needs. Plextools sees the drive but acts like if the drive wasn ot available for writing. I changed slots in order for the plextor drive to use an orange slot and now, plextools seems to be able to write via the drive. Have any of you got a clue about what could cause the drive not to be able to write when it is connected to a Gigabyte SATA port? Thanks for your attention. Huey
