I seem to be having an issue whereby the K8NXP-9 seems to hate SATA-II
drives, to the point where my Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 just locks up the whole
system after sustained read or write operations in Windows. Tested the
drive, - works perfectly for hours when Suse Linux is installed onto it.

I've had to fall back to using an IDE drive on this mobo as SATA simply
isn't stable.

Has anyone else suffered this problem or found a solution? Pretty
frustrating.

I had simmilar problem with my sata drive and i figured it that the problem
was driver from nforce4 package for ide/ata/atapi contrroler so i unistaled
it and let the windows put it's driver and now it's fine ! I had no problem
since !
