I hope you're removing the other cards when testing the SIL card. Failure to boot is almost certainly a controller issue, not the drive. If the Windows loading starts, then freezes, then it's a driver issue. Sometimes Windows tries to revert to a previous (incorrect) driver. Anyhow, I've had more than one SATA controller refuse to boot with the optical drive connected.
