Only on SATA controller -- Promise 378 chip on the MB. I should also 
mention that although the Promise chip supports RAID, that feature is 
not in use. There is only one SATA drive.

I did indeed go through the BIOS settings, which is a good point as 
along with the new MB there was a new version on the Phoenix Server
