Is there a single, surefire way to solve the PIO problem with this board?
Tried a few methods posted in this thread, but to no avail. Only using 1 SATA HD.
Try this:
1. Go to Devices Manager
2. Uninstall PIO Device
3. Reboot
4. Let Windows detect new device on startup
5. That should do it (I had similar problem with my DVD - it helped)
If that doesn't work, here's some stuff you can do:
Case 1: if you plug your SATA HD into one of the 4 intel SATA ports, then in your BIOS set IDE mode to IDE (NOT AHCI) and everything should work.
Case 2 (I prefer this if it works):
1. goto
www.jmicron.com and go to their driver download FTP site. There you will be able to find the latest JM363 driver. Install that... (Do this BEFORE everything else)
2. Plug your SATA HD into one of the two Gigabyte SATA Ports.
3. Go into your BIOS and set the IDE mode to native, SATA mode to AHCI (lol make sure your gigabyte sata ports are enabled)
4. Reboot... Now your CD drive will be supported by the JMICRON IDE driver and your HD will be supported by the JMICRON SATA driver.
When I did case 2, (you must use newer drivers - gigabyte.com has some pretty new ones as well), my harddrive no longer appears under IDE ports and is now called SATA HD!! I did hdtach benchmark and everything seem to indicate normal SATA operation.
