Not at all Addammer - I hope you get it working.

In the mean time here is where I am. I am just about to buy a SATA controller for my desktop.

This is the one I was going to get:

But the drives are labelled as SATA 2. THe card above is labelled as SATA. Will I be able to access SATA2 drives from SATA card?
