I meant the drive supports IDE and SATA? Most boards do, still. I would check, since the drive supports both (which is odd, what drive is it) if there is a jumper setting that needs to be put on. Frankly, if the drive supports SATA, put it on SATA and disable PATA/IDE on the board outright if you are not using any IDE devices. Mixed-mode has always been flakey, even with recent boards. If you must use mixed-mode, be sure that your BIOS is properly configured to support both simultaneously. My old Gigabyte board had an oddly worded setting that allowed it (the one that SOUNDED like it should did not). Also, be sure your boot order is correct if you are trying to boot from the SATA drive or set it up as your primary boot drive for Vista. Vista can, but does not like to, boot from non-primary devices.
