The hard disk works with everytime with all PCI cards.
I tried with a SATA hard drive and without the sata hard drive.

Ive tried 3 cables Including the working cable of the sata hard drive.

Did one last thing before the courier for the company comes to pick up to the drive tomorrow.

I put it into another PC and allowed booting but gave errors.

Ran Cdspeed to read a disc and it has no additional sense error. Back to PIO Mode 4 again now. Strange things happening whilst booting up and the BIOS screen getting stuck.

Are saying you have the GGW-H20L working with the PCI card ? Do you have anything else hooked up to the Sata port with it ? Are you in UDMA mode 6 i.e. what is your interface speed ?
