Hello dazgreen
Sorry to hear you're having problems...Which build are you working with?...Several of us have had hardware issues with 4015...Also could you post the rest of your hardware spec's...It might be easier to help you if you can give us more information.

Hey daz,
If you are running a nForce Chipset I would be very surprised if you was able to get the SATA to work and not surprised if you wasn't able to.
MS has gotten some work to do with LH to make it nForce Friendly and I really don't understand why they haven't addressed that issue yet.
All the best,
|

TIP:
You can always list your system Specs in your Signature and then it will always post with each posting you do.
As for the specs and prob. I would say it's still a SATA / HL bug. Sad part is there really isn't any changes that can be made between the two to fix it. If it's setup to work with XP (your reg. OS) and it does fine I would be cautious about what I done to the drive / bios as it could crash XP.
Sorry I am not being very helpful. Have you by any chance looked on the Asus site / forums for any tips / help? (not trying to get rid of you, just don't want to repeat anything you may have already done)??
The best of luck!
