Hi All,
I have an Asus A7N8X - Deluxe M/B with a Seagate SATA 120GB H/D set up
on SATA 1. A CD-RW setup on IDE 1 as master and a CD-Rom set up as
master on IDE 2. Everything seems to be working O.K. but when I go into
BIOS in shows the CD-RW as primary master, the CD-Rom as secondary
master but the SATA H/D is not shown anywhere. Also I am unable to
select SATA anywhere as SATA is not listed, then nearest is SCSI. Can
anyone with this type of config please give me some advice as the
whether this is correct or not.Thanks

The SATA controller is separate, since the nForce2 does not have any
native SATA controller. Thus the drive should be shown in the SATA
controller's boot messages.

Since you seem to be booting off the SATA drive, what are the boot
device settings in BIOS setup?

I have the same MB and have found if you have a hard drive on
the IDE ports you have to set the boot to SCSI if you want to boot
from the drive on the SATA port. If you just have a hard drive on the
SATA port you can leave the boot set to HDD0.
Basiclly what you said is correct.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Thanks for that, I wanted to make sure that I had it all setup
