I have a annoying problem.
Recently i bought a new drive, a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 1TB / SATA / 7200rpm and a SATA card, a VScom Serial ATA-150 PCI Controller.
After inserting and installing the card i plugged in the drive and started up.
After the quick BIOS check it said
Sil 3112A SATARaid BIOS version 4.2.12

Press <Ctrl-S> or F4 to enter RAID utility
Primary Channel ST31000340AS
and then it froze.
If i disconnect the drive then everything works fine and just say
Primary channel: Drive not found
Secondary channel: Drive not found
but with the new HD it always freeze.
Also, with the drive connected i cannot access setup in BIOS.
It register that i have pressed the buttton, but then it continues to the page i just mentioned and freezes.
Pressing F4 or Ctrl-S does nothing either.
Anyone knows what can be wrong ?
My computer is a Dell 2400. and my tech skills are minimal ;-)
