I have been looking at the AMI BIOS, there are no selections to choose
an SATA drive, all the drive choices are IDE. So even though I flashed
the BIOS, it still doesn't have a choice for SATA. I think that is the
root of my trouble. How MSI can say the MB supports SATA is beyond me.
There's more to "support" than putting a connector on the MB!
