By default most boards come with SATA and/or RAID disabled,change the
BIOS settings to activate SATA & set to work with IDE drives.Youre cdrom/or
rw will need this & if you run a IDE hd with SATA..Also,install the chipset
installation utility from intel,locate youre board on the intel site & run
from
its downloads...

Hello,

Was it previously running in Ultra DMA mode and then suddenly reverted to
PIO mode?

If so, or even if not so, do the following
1.. Start > Control Panel
2.. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.
3.. Click System Tools, and then click Device Manager.
4.. Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers node.
5.. Double-click the controller for which you want to restore the typical
DMA transfer mode.
6.. Click the Driver tab.
7.. Click Uninstall.
8.. When the process completes, restart your computer. When Windows
restarts, the hard disk controller is re-enumerated and the transfer mode is
reset to the default value for each device that is connected to the
controller.
