Did you [use the BIOS to] configure the PATA ports to work in "legacy"
mode and "map" the SATA drives onto the PATA ports (a configuration
option of the Intel ICH5 chip) so that they look like traditional IDE
drives, or did you configure the PATA/SATA interfaces in "native" mode
in which they look a lot like PCI devices to the OS?
