I removed the original hard drive and installed a Seagate SATA drive and SiI 3112 SATA PCI host card.

At boot-up time I get the message Primary hard disk 0 and 1 not found but it lists the SiI 3112 (Card) BIOS version 4.2.12 (Vantec, Silicon Image.)
It also says states Primary Channel: Drive not found, Secondary Channel: ST316... 152627MB (the new SATA drive.)

Setup shows Primary Drive 0 and 1 as Unknown Device. Hard Drive Sequence shows 1.System Boot 2. ST3160827AS (my new SATA drive.)

Device manager shows SCSI an RAID Controllers as Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALINK Controller with message "This device is working Properly."

The system boots with some message problems (e.g. Press F1 to continue) but I can run the application programs okay. If I install the old drive Windows XP will boot from it rather than my new drive. Setup has no option to recognize the new drive.
