SATA Hard Disk going PIO Mode

Oh that one? That's a conventional Seagate 120GB ATA-100 Hard Drive (not SATA; rather the one that uses the familiar 80-wire ribbon cable).

Well after explaining my situation to the retailer, I got it exchanged. But since they didn't have a non-NCQ version of the 120GB SATA drive, they gave me a 120GB ATA-100 drive instead, and even threw in a bunch of DVD-RW's (8 discs, from Imation) as an act of good jesture.
