Yra du kontroleriai:
1) Intel_ICH8 - geltoni SATA portai
2) OEM JMicron SATAII  (GIGABYTE SATA2) - purple portai

Pagal prasme: "(1) BIOS the SATA port 0-3 Native Mode is Enabled" 
turetu jungineti Intel_ICH8 mode (RAID'o nepalaiko, bet itariu AHCI ijungia 
patikrinimui - WinXP_setup'as ant geltono porto SATA disko turetu "nematyt" be tu F6).

"(2) Onboard SATA/IDE Control Mode setting in BIOS to AHCI"
turetu kontroliuoti OEM_Jmicron'o mode (tavo MB IDE portas per ji ateina).

Gal ir klystu, bet ICH8'as AHCI berods visos versijos palaiko.
