    This is at the bios screen?

    I'd clear your cmos and start over. Sounds like a hardware detection issue with the controller. Try a different sata channel/slot and see if that resolves it, then put it back to "Sata drive 1".

    Thats strange. First time i see it. It gives you this message every time you boot the pc or it was just once. Will the drive work after you get into windows???

    So probably its windows going crazy. I remember once telling me that i cannot delete a folder because it is empty.
    Maybe this is also happening if you have your system overclocked.

    I did a search also and could not find any message of that kind. It looks like that every time you boot windows installs the sata controller. It may be windows problem with some conflicts or something or it may be your mobo going bad

    Sorry I got nothing on this one. Sounds like it's just the SATA controller trying to show off. If it shows up just after the bios screen but before windows that's a normal place for that type of message to show up. It's extremely common for you to see similar messages on a mother board that supports raid. Normally though there'd be a prompt with it saying press CTRL+ALT+A to access the Raid setup.


    However if it's windows stating that, that's weird I've never stumbled across that before. Sounds almost like it's detecting hardware but I've never heard of it.

    I had a similar issue with a sata controller redetecting at each windows startup, and never installing itself quite right which is why windows redetected it each time. Funny thing was - the controller was actually already installed but for some reason windows didn't see the hardware id as a duplicate and kept thinking it was a new device, then when it went to install/configure it couldn't because resources were already assigned and reserved for the device.

    Anyway, I ended up wiping the drive to make it go away. Fresh install of windows worked to resolve it, but that was a dramatic resolution for the problem (since windows still worked). I figured if it was doing that what else could be wrong, so I started over. Got quite a few months out of the install before it went belly up, so no big loss IMO.

    Then run a *nix distro. Set it up once, then forget it until it reminds you that it never worked to begin with.

    No, I'm not kidding. Run linux. It'll either work, or not work. But the chances are, if the device runs fine, the distro you choose will ID it and set it up for you, if it has your bridge driver. If not, it's real easy to set it up.

    Is it not just best to leave it alone since nothing is broke?

    I'd leave it alone. Running linux on it to solve this problem isn't a solution. You could try doing a clean install if this is really bugging you but sounds like it's just one of those fun windows issues that crop up from time to time.
