It is my understanding that a PCI ATA controller is seen as an emulated SCSI card by the Mac and there for it is required that you format the HD when you connect it to such a card, even if the HD is already seen by the card. You just installed another driver on the HD w/o formatting it. IMHO just backup the drive, connect it to the card, format it with Drive Setup or Disk Utility (include OS 9 drivers) and copy the stuff back to the HD. Should work fine then.
