[Gllug] SATA - new drives and old BIOSes not compatible?

[Richard Jones]

I bought a new WD SATA drive from a reputable supplier, but
unfortunately it doesn't seem to be detected by my two year old
computer with onboard SATA (Via VT8237).

Are there known problems with new drives and old motherboards, as in
the IDE days?  I find it hard to believe that this drive would be DOA.

Rich.
