NF7-S won't recognize drive on serial ATA?

I'm trying to install another HD (Maxtor 160gb)on my system that
already had 2 HD's on one IDE port and 2 CD/DVD drives on the other.
I'm using the Serillel that came with the mobo and I believe
everything connected correctly. But when I boot up the drive is not
recognized and the system hangs when trying to load XP. I've tried
changing the jumper on the drive from master to channel select with
the same result. What am I missing here? Any suggestions?

Thanks
Lumpy

Have you enabled the SATA in the bios?

Does it say anywhere than you can run serial ATA and PIO ATA anywhere?
I didn't think you could do both.

Well, in the bios under Integrated Peripherals/Onboard PCI device its
says "Select onboard serial ATA IDE Controller Two additional IDE
channels provide the capability of adding high performance device(s)
to the system." And while I can find no mention in the manual of
whether the both can be done simultaneously, this leads me to believe
you can.

You will want to set the drive jumper/s on the drive so that it is a SINGLE
drive. Setting it as a master assumes that it will have a slave. This will
cause problems because it will be searching for a drive (slave) that doesn't
exist. Make sure you have connected the power cables to it properly and
check to see if you hooked it to the correct sata port on the mainboard. I
have heard a story or two regarding the serillel connector not connecting
properly to the 40 pin connector on the drive.

If all that fails to return acceptable results, You may consider hooking it
up to the main ide controller as a slave, format and all that and then
attempt to move it back to the sata again.

It could also be an issue where the Maxtor drive is not happy with the
adapter. I can tell you that WD drives behave very well with the serillel
adapters for what that is worth to you. I do not know about the Maxtor
drives.

And yes you may have hard drives running on the sata controller as well as
the onboard standard ide controller simultaneously. Just set the boot
sequence in the bios to the controller containing the boot drive.

The drive on the sata controller will act as a common ide drive if you do
not set up a raid array on it.

I currently have a pair of 120gb sata drives running seperately (non-raid)
and use the onboard controller for my optical devices.

Thanks for your response Bob. When you say set the drive jumper to a
single drive, please explain. I did try setting it to "cable select"
with no luck.

Where do I find those parameters? There doesn't seem to be that
selection possibility in the bios.

I've tried every possible selection I can think of with no success.
However, when I hook the current IDE boot drive up to the serial ATA
port it recognizes the drive and boots. No other hard drives are
connected. Is it that the serial ATA must be the boot drive?
