   SATA not recognized

   From: oldmartian@users.easynews.com   
      
   I bought a SATA II card and a WD320 GB SATA drive.   
      
   I got the board's drivers installed but my BIOS and Device Manager   
   doesn't see the drive.   
      
   Would it be my Intel D850GBC mother board?   
      
   On boot up I get a black text screen saying the drive isn't right and   
   I can press the F4 key to get an option to low-level format the drive.   
   I haven't low-level formatted anything in 10 years.   
      
   I've been searching the Web and the Windows OS newsgroups but there   
   isn't much help.  I'm thinking my motherboard is too old.   
      
   I know it's time to get new, but not yet.   
      
   Thanks, Dudes.
