what motherboard are you using? I know with my nf7-s I can disable it deep within the bios under pci devices I think.

I have the same problem on my MSI K7N2G-ILSR. I could not find a way to completely kill the SATA controller. I suppose you could take a little screwdriver and pry the controller chip off the board.

In BIOS, you might be able to find the settings for onchip SATA controllers and such.

I'm not familiar with the Asus P4C800, but in my Abit IC7-G, there are two settings I disabled for the SATA controller.
