hi, i got my g/f's pc here that is running vista,its got a 200 gb ide drive and i have got a 500gb sata drive (the sata drive has 3 partition's on it and was used on my older pc) when i plug it in2 the pc it starts to load vista, just after the scrolling bar has gone the screen go's blank and it halts for a long time b4 vista will finaly show up, if i unplug it it loads perfect again,
im probably missing somthing stupid , i have played with the bios and changed between the diffrent sata modes, but i am totaly stumped, i am using a askock P4i65G , if thats any help at all, anyways any information would be gr8 as iv been trying to sort this 4 a wee while now and the hold she has of ma nutz is getting increasingy intense lol
Peace Out

you could try getting a pci sata controller and see if it works then
