Hi,
I have a PCI SATA adapter card with a VT6421 chip to run a SATA hard drive.
The drivers are installed and appear in the device manager under SCSI .Name VIA VT6421 RAID Controller.The PC does not recognise the SATA drive.

The msinfo set up


Manufacturer VIA Technologies, Inc.
Status OK
PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3249&SUBSYS_32491106&REV_50\3&61AAA01&0&70
I/O Port 0x0000DC00-0x0000DC0F
I/O Port 0x0000D800-0x0000D80F

Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\viamraid.sys (5.1.2600.530, 98.63 KB (100,992 bytes), 10/04/2007 10:35)

I use WINP XP sp2 .The MB is an Asrock k7S8X with an updated BIOS.
I wish to modify or update the cards BIOS or The Motherboards BIOS.
The bios modifications appear to be mainly for Xbox using MTKflash.

Do you know of a file for a hard drive.?

Be grateful for any info.

Regards,
Derrick.

I may be reading this wrong but are you just trying to install a normal sata HARD DRIVE on your pc or are you trying to get your pc to recognise your sata drive from your xbox 360?
