Main board ... 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. P5Q Deluxe Motherboard Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19 I/O ports at 9c00 [size=8] I/O ports at 9880 [size=4] I/O ports at 9800 [size=8] I/O ports at 9480 [size=4] I/O ports at 9400 [size=32] Memory at f9ffe800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: ahci I'll try reseting the BIOS to defaults.
