if you want to get linux off the drive and have everything work again........us a 98 boot disk to go into dos and format the drive with linux on there......I have to use that method a lot......just go to boot disk .com or whatever.......

to my knowledge, Linux doesn't like SATA all that much yet. I've heard of alot of people having problems booting from sata drives. Aslo heard of people having problems enabling DMA access to drives on VIA chipsets, fwiw.
