Probably not the problem then, but I would still double check in
Windows. See "Check Your IDE Port Mode" per this article:

Your board has a JMicron JMB363 PATA/SATA controller, which has caused
me a lot of IDE related grief. Coincidently I just posted that my
problems were fixed by installing the latest drivers. If you haven't
done so already, I highly recommend it.

Good luck!
