The Via chip on the card may be a VT6421A , some people are finding that the serial
ATA drivers included in Windows are not so compatible for this controller,
and the same for the drivers provided .
I'd install the sata card with no drives attached to it,
and allow Windows to search for drivers. does the device warning persist? And if
a single sata hard drive is connected , what happens?
Another thought ... this sounds like a SATA 2 card. With a DVD , the sata 2 speed
of 3Gb/s may be too high, some cards have a jumper which allows you to alter this.
