    No. Drivers for my motherboard have been loaded. When it is recognized by windows, the GIGA-BYTE VIA drivers are loaded... The driver that it loads is for a RAID controller rather than SATA....

    Have you inadvertently turned on the raid function of your motherboard ? (this should be finding a number of sata channels & installing a controller for each of those, NOT trying to do anything about any RAID controllers)

    Lots of bioses have this 'really badly put' & its tricky to see what to do if you have just one sata drive or like you a sata device that can't be in a RAID. Any sata contoller references found in bios need to be enabled, but any references in bios about RAID need to be off in either of those situations..

    In my Bios, I can chose to enable or disable the SATA channels. I can then select a set IRQ, auto, or disable for each of the 2 channels...There are no settings in bios for Raid...

    Oh yes there are - but Gigabyte implemented it 'weird' ... get or download your mannual & look for the bit "create your disk array" (I know we don't want one, but apparently we have to tell it !), you press "cntrl-g" just after it posts apparently to get to this ..

    & you'll find that there are 5 options for how we want anything attached to this controller (again this board is strange & the RAID chip also doubles as the IDE controller) - we want to set this as option 5 "normal" & that then should mean windoze will find an ide controller & not a RAID controller - hopefully that is ..
