Not only that, but I bought a new SATA drive at about the same time as I switched to the DVB drivers. Did you ever get a good resolution? I have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, which includes on-board a Silicon Image Sil 3112A controller; the same one you found to be your problem. I suppose that if I can't fix some setting somewhere, then my best hope is to buy a separate PCI SATA card with a different controller chip; that would at least be cheaper than buying a new 400GB hard drive. --PC
