  1. Win XP hangs when accessing SATA disk (Silicon Image 3112A). I have a WD 80GB 8 MB cache IDE disk with 3 partitions with a Win XP Pro. I have added Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA 120 GB (model # 6Y120M0). Win XP keeps freezing when accessing particular files on the new SATA drive. (After disconnecting SATA cable, Win XP shows delayed writing error). I tried the disk on another Gigabyte motherboard (with different Silicon controller) with the same model SATA hard disk, which was installed Win XP nicely. When added my SATA disk, my SATA disk worked without problems. BIOS flashing does not help. I have tried fresh install of Win XP with downloaded newest drivers from Gigabyte site from a floppy. After system reboot it shows hardware error (according to the Technet, it means a corrupted ntfs driver, but non-corrupted driver does not help). However Red Hat 9.0 installation went without a hitch and nicely boots from the SATA disk (contrary to Win XP). Well, it copies from other NTFS partitons much slower but works. WINXP SP2 started to write to SATA largest partition... and it froze. Now it freezes when I connect the cable and it starts recognising/mounting the partition. Silicon Image SataLink Sil3112ACT144 Mobo: Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Ultra Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
