Thnx all. Its getting to close to a Lan tourny tho, and I'd like to have everything up and running asap, so last night i ordered a 200 gig ide, and im just sending these 2 drives back. thnx for all the help though, just that right now im runnin out of time for installing a buttload of games, patches, practicing/getting use to the games themselves. So again thanks, but maybe some time later in the not so near future, ill attempt sata again. Its so damned confusing though, cause I installed all of the sata updates, my 2 friends havent had any problems with theirs at all, and it wont even read. But owell.

P.S. I did take it out and look at the sticker, it said it didnt need a jumper to be primary/slave, so everything was set right. Just didnt work out i guess.
