As newer chipsets motherboards are having third party I/O chipsets , sata hard disks are no more detected in dos. Besides pata controller is no more present .
I would like to know what is solution for this ? Is pci ide controller useful in this case ?

Probably Linux is a better option depending on what you want to do.
what are your limitations? you NEED DOS? You have legacy apps?
wondering what you actually need to do that these new Mobo's are causing a problem?.

Hi Haque
I think dos is indispensable tool in any DR lab. At a times dos based cloning / recovery tools are far more powerful than windows.
( windows may not mount a badly damaged file system , however same disk can be accessed using dos in seconds .)
Pls. note top most imagers like DDI3 were based on dos.
We work with industrial customers & often need to clone 1Gb - 80GB SCSI / IDE disks . We have several dos based tools & are fairly successful so far.
Main issue is latest chipsets ( intel G45 Onwards with ICH10) are having third party disk controllers which are not supported in dos.
I wanted to know what solutions other peoples are using & whether pci ide controller is right choice for the same.
Thanks
