Just installing Vista on this sucker with a SATA drive. I discovered that if I enable SATA but disable RAID, Vista will not pickup the drive. Even if I download the proper Gigabyte SATA drivers, it just won’t detect. This board doesn’t have an option to enable IDE-Emulation on the SATA ports.
The fix? Enable SATA RAID. Then hit F10 at boot and define a spanning array, make it bootable. Vista detects it straight away without the need for an additional device driver.
