I bought a SATA hard drive and no matter what I can't get the HD LED to work
on my case, is there anything special I need to do is this normal?

Thanks

Could be your motherboard. I have the K8V Deluxe and the HD lights up for
both the PATA and SATA (on Promise) drives. I don't know about the VIA SATA
controller.

Now I am wondering if it isn't the notherboard, I may have a power supply
issue also.

The HD light only triggers for IDE type harddrives; not for SATA drives.

Are you sure? I'd swear my HDD light was working when only my S-ATA
drive was connected. In fact, I'm certain of it.

i got an a7n8x-dlx (2.0) runing a single SATA hdd, and at first the hdd LED
didn't light. then i flipped the hdd LED connector, and bam, little blinking
red light when its using the hdd. my tip, and it may be horribly obvious to
say it, try flipping the hdd LED plug.

Good one. We all forgot the obvious. I was just putting together a P2B
yesterday and that tip was right in the manual I downloaded.

No we didn't, he had said it worked for IDE therefore that could not have
been the problem.

I use the as-shipped 1012 BIOS.

Did you try reversing the connector on the MB? If it is plugged in
backward, the LED won't E any L.

Not true, may depend on the motherboard, but on my K8-NE, I only have
sata hard drives and the light works on disk access.
