Okay, when I load up bios, I have to put the setting for my SATA II (where my drive is plugged in) controller to Enabled instead of Auto. If it's on auto, it won't detect anything period, not even in windows. Even with it set to enabled, bios won't detect anything actually plugged into the drive. However, if I leave it on enabled, disk management shows that it is actually there. I can use it as I wish, but there are three things off (enough so that I can't use it yet):
1) When I go to Discwizard to try and install it the automatic way, the JMicron thing I use to detect my sata2 driver won't be able to detect the harddrive. Instead, it detects my CDROM CDR/RW drive (which is plugged into the second IDE slot).
2) When I try using my sata drive in a deep way (I can put one or two gigs into it at a time, but if I try moving tens of gigs into it), it crashes my computer. Not BSOD, but like, it makes it so that I can't do anything anymore with my box. Some programs will still work (winamp and aim), but explorer.exe will crash, and I can't use ctrl alt del to end the process and restart. I also can't shut down or restart in this condition so I'm forced to illegal shut down.
3) When I'm using my sata drive slightly, it starts making my computer skip every 5 seconds or so. By skip i mean winamp will stop for about a second as well as my mouse and then start working normally again.
