I've just got a Seagate 160GB SATA disk with NCQ (ST3160827AS). After using Seagate's DiscWizard to install the drivers, the Device Manager was able to see a "SCSI Disk Device". However, Windows' Disk Manager does not see a new drive.
I then tried to use DiscWizard again to create new partitions, but it reports that my drive has 0MB space. Woohoo.
So what should I do? Does NCQ mean the drive won't work at all if the controller doesn't support it? That doesn't sound right at all.

EDIT: Oh, Device Manager also reports the drive as being unreadable. I'm missing something...
