Unable to "Enable" Native SATA

I have a Pavilion dv8000t notebook. I have a Centrino Dua T2400

I've completely wiped everything off of it and followed some instructions that I've found on this very helpful forum.

My current issue is this:

During the whole install I have had Native SATA disabled.

Before my install, and one of the reasons I'm doing the reinstall, is that my notebook was not recognizing that I had any hard disks installed.

So, I went and loaded the necessary SATA RAID controller onto a floppy, F6'ed the controller before I went through windows setup and that seemed to fix the problem.

I have two 100GB Fujitsu SATA drives in my notebook, which came factory.

I have windows up and running, everything is working fine except that Native SATA is disabled in my BIOS.

If I turn Native SATA on, and reboot, it goes into a reboot loop with a blue screen flash.

If I disable native sata, it boots up fine.

Anyone have any ideas?

In my device manage it tells me this under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers:
- Intel(R) 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C4
-Primary IDE Channel
-Secondary IDE Channel

Any ideas on how to get native sata to work?

 

What I've done that works on all the units I've tried is go to the two ide channels, pick update driver, then pick manual, then have disk, point it to the F6 Floppy drivers, you'll get the usual "not designed for your hardware" warnings, ignore them and install it anyways on both ide controllers, reboot, turn on native SATA mode and then boot into windows, should work then.
