Maybe it's not this controller which is the cause of all my problems, but I got
this at startup each time I use this motherboard (HDD works perfect on an other
motherboard):

I got, on my motherboard: VIA VT8237R+ chipset and CN700. The CN700 controls
SATA raid and the VT8237R+ controls EIDE. As my disk is connected via EIDE, I
supposed that the problem came from the VT8237R+ chipset
