nforce2 ultra 400 sata driver performance issues

Nforce2 ultra 400 and SATA driver performance / issues

Hi there, I have a soltek FRN2-RL motherboard with Promise Fasttrack SATA controller.
I have plugged in a Seagate 120 gig SATA150 drive. Vista seems to turn it off (either that or my PSU is overloaded :P ) and when I access the drive it is very very slow and eventually crashes explorer and it needs to restart.
Initially on install, Vista didn't havea clue about the driver needed so I installed the XP driver from the motherboard chipset drivers.
Anyone else exerienced this with Vista B2 ?
thanks.

I have nearly the same problem. THe only thing that miss me is a device driver called "promise SATA IDE Controller". I have a motherboard MSI K8T Neo S2FR with a Maxtor 6Y 160Go on Serial ATA. No device, no intall...
