I have a VIA VT6421 pci sata card and a hitachi 0047dh drive
and my pc is a emachine t2200 (OLD).

My sata card is installed and is detected also.

But my problem is that when i connect my drive to my pc and reboot it, it freezes at a via sata
screen and it says to push the TAB key and when i do i go to another screen it says
"Notice"-The number of disks is not adequate to create a RAID!!! and i cant do nothing else but
reboot.

I've tried going into my bios and trying to change raid to native (if its possable with chipset) but
no luck....

So can someone PLEASE help me...

thanks for reading.

Try: Press eject button from the xbox360 to eject dvd-rom's tray. Works for me in similar case.
I know it sounds funny. <--- thats what they told me and it did the trick.

Well i did try the eject trick thing but i think that DivyX was referring to the windows boot/loading
screen and we are talking about the via sata bios screen that hangs.
And the eject trick didnt work for me unless i did it wrong.

Please write back if u figure a solution.

I did get it working actually.

Frustrated, I booted to windows with nothing plugged in.

I then plugged in the sata to the 150r.

Then I tried the wire trick.

Tada!  The drive ejected (modeb) and I could see the drive in windows.

Moments later, the drive was flashed.

So - if you're willing to go that route ... It DOES work with the 150r.
