hello all , thankyou for your kind welcome, it is nice to know that there is somewhere i can maybe get some good help. my problem is with a 200g barracuda 7200.7 sata hard drive that will do nothing except hum and get hot when hooked up to my pc. i take it to school and hook it up there and it works fine. i dont understand why i am having this problem and the only thing that i can see that i am missing is sm bus controller drives on my pc. im open for suggestions and thanks again for the warm welcome.

Can you give us the full system spec EG ram, mobo, cpu etc...

You may need that driver.
