    I had already done that... didn't work for my system.

    Then I looked up the Promise controller on the Promise website. Was fond to find the 64 Bit section. But they say they don't make drivers for any of their products used in manufacturers stuff cause they can change or use different drivers.

    So after that I tried some google and even planetam64.com or whatever it was and to no avail I have not found what I need.

    Well the driver linked to above is the only one I've been able to find, or have ever seen that lists in the readme, that it supports the '378 controller. I myself, couldn't find any reference to it on Promise's site. Is there another product name it goes by?

    well, strangely enough, in my Hardware settings it is saying I have a VIA Controller for IDE and SATA.... this is crazy. The asus website says I have a promise controller.

    I was under the impression that motherboard had both VIA and Promise SATA controllers.

    I've had another look around, it seems people are having mixed results with these drivers (I've found them on Promise's site now). But it would seem they are the only ones available. I would keep trying to get the to work, and I'll be sure to let you know if and when I find newer ones. I expect that will be just a matter of waiting for Promise to release them though.

    Yeah, you've got two, the VIA one, which is part of your South Bridge, and the Promise one.

    So which VIA ones do I need?

    http://www.short-media.com/request.php?224 or http://www.short-media.com/request.php?223 should do it. If not, I believe the drivers are also available as part of the latest chipset package from VIA. Which is here: http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/HyperionPro64/VIA_HyperionPro64_v096P2.zip
