I've been all through the BIOS settings and tried almost all. Just can't get it to recognize SATA drives. Worked for several years. Sometimes I got the failure to initialize (something), then hit (g) key to continue.
SOURCE: SATA drive not detected in BIOS and windows does not boot up
As mentioned above, you need to either replace your motherboard with one that will support SATAII or you need to find and place a jumper on the HD setting that will make the drive run at 1.5gb/sec. On my Western Digital 500GB HD that was covering pins 5 and 6. Then the Via 8237 and OS saw the drive and I was able to use it.
