I have a functioning Windows XP Pro system on a VT7 motherboard. It has an IDE drive on the primary master and a DVD drive on the secondary master. I want to add an additional hard drive for storage (Seagate 1.5T Barracuda; I have jumpered it down to 1.5Gb/sec, per the manual) Upon installing the hard drive and connecting it to the motherboard it is not recognized by the bios, and I see no setting in the CMOS that state anything like "activate SATA ports" When booting the system the first three lines read: -VIA Tech VIA8237 Serial ATA Raid Bios Setting Util v 2.21 -Serial_CH0 Master: No Device -Serial_CH1 Master: No Device The system continues to function with Windows XP Pro; I just can not get the motherboard to recognize the SATA drive. I hear no sounds from the SATA drive, but do believe something is happening as it does get warm after it's been in there a while. Not uncharacteristically hot, just warm like a hard drive. Any suggestions on next steps? Thanks.
