After all this time and trouble you have not tried the eSATA interface? Is that because you have no eSATA port? You can get a eSATA/SATA combo cable, or an adapter like I described upthread regarding the enclosures I use. Just be sure to connect and power on prior to booting if any of the hardware does not support eSATA-only features.
I have no eSATA ports on my motherboard.
I just looked at the first Google hit for Asus P4P-800E deluxe and it does indeed have one pair of SATA (RAID) ports. I've yet to encounter SATA RAID ports that could not be operated in non-RAID mode. Maybe there was more than one variant of Asus P4P-800E deluxe made and you got the short end of the deal? What is your output from lspci? Maybe you need to enable the SATA in your BIOS. -- "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control."
