A couple of months ago, I was switching out hard drives rapidly on the SATA channel, trying to get two drives in particular to work together. These were two IDE drives, so I had the Abit SATA adapters on both of them. Somehow or another, I ended up jamming one of the adapters in wrong on a hard drive, shoving a pin into the drive and killing the SATA.
When the computer boots, it tries to read from SATA, and if a drive is connected, it is not detected.
It occurred to me today to verify that the SATA does not work, and it doesn't. So does anyone know precisely what parts of the motherboard may be affected, and if it's possible to repair?
