    I missed all the fun. But to recap

    IDE Operation mode is the setting you want.

    It is my understanding that. if you want to install S-ATA drive/s either as Raid or AHCI, you MUST have the S-Ata drivers on a floppy.

    If you want to operate your S-Ata drive/s as P-Ata (IDE), then you don't.
