I have SATA in both my desktop and laptop (not in the specs) and FC4
installed on both with no problems. Heck FC1 installed on my desktop
with the addition of a driver. FC4 on the desktop recognized both my
controllers and all 4 drives.
The drive isn't the issue, the controller and bios is.
What is your controller chip?
