Well i was having that same problem cause the sata port i was using was not working correct i treid all 4 and the last one worked 100%.

Try to reset the PCI card ( REMOVE AND RESET IT ) that works some times.

And did you follow:
Under Device manager

Right Click the VIA 6421 RAID Controller (may report as 3249 if using 550b drivers or above) and
select Disable
Acknowledge the warning by clicking Yes

Now, to remove drivers we must navigate to where relevant file is
mine were located, and most will be: C :\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ XXXXXXX.sys file
Depending on your motherboard and OS
For XP normally called viamraid.sys
For Vista/Win 7 normally called vsmraid.sys

Once deleted, go back to device manager using the same steps outlined above.
Find your disabled VIA 6421 Card, right click and select enable

If so, reboot your PC
Upon reboot, verify VIA 6421 still has a Yellow Exclamation Mark in Device Manager
You have successfully removed VIA drivers from your machine.


Try that and let us know how it goes.

u said you have a via 6421 card
plug your drive into the port a t the front of the card(the one pointing to front of you computer-thats the master)
thisd is what u should be using
if its in this then it should detect your drive providing  you follow tut on how  to disable your card ETC
