Oh, I don't want to wring you... But the problem is with the SATA adapters on the motherboard (or possibly a separate card), not with the drives. A quick Google suggests that the Original Poster has a SiS 965L South Bridge. Unfortunately, http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#sis-965l says "No known open-source drivers". This isn't what he wanted to hear, but I'd suggest a parallel ATA drive for Linux.
