Does it work when you first remove the 200GB drive, reboot, press F3
and see what you can do in that configuration tool.
It is possible that it first needs to forget the 200GB drive.

Have you checked the specs of the 1205 to see what maximum drive size
it supports? That's an older card, IIRC, so it might top out at 500gb
or something.

I did yes, all it really says is that is supports drives larger than
137gb.

It hangs for maybe 30 seconds, then returns the prompt.
And again now on this boot, before the console prompt appears I see:

Using older SATA controllers with SATA II drives may work, but there
aren't any guarantees.
