Hmmm... I can't remember if I mention this a day or two ago, but have you
checked the BIOS for a funky setting - maybe under "advanced" or
"integrated peripherals", to see if it's got a setting for... oh, was it
SATA mode that I had the problem with? See if there's such a thing, and if
so, change it to RAID instead of IDE.
