In order to use an EIDE/UATA hard drive which was formerly connected to a 
motherboard EIDE bus (either one) on an AHARD UATA card (or any other one), 
you must reinitialize that hard drive for use on the UATA card.

Drive Setup will reinitialize that hard drive as if it is a SCSI hard drive, 
which is how these cards operate.

Although the data on the hard drive doesn't actually have to be changed (only 
the hidden partitions need to be mucked with) so far no card manufacturer has 
seen fit to make a "transition" tool. Therefore, all your data will be lost 
during the rewriting of the hidden partitions.

There was a card from Japan quite a few years ago which did not require this 
reinitialization, but it is long gone.
