Why not ask your motherboard manufacturer for help since it is they who
say their mobo supports Win Me. You won't get any help from Microsoft as
Win Me is long out of full support (mid 2004) and also out of extended
support, where only critical security issues are addressed, which ended in
mid 2006.

What you seem to conveniently forget because it doesn't necessarily fit
your agenda is that Win 9x systems were designed in the 90s for the
hardware available at that time when a 400MHz cpu was fast, 256MB of RAM
unusual and drives larger than 40GB or so, rare. Today, of course, such
hardware could barely if at all run XP. Times change as do operating
systems and if you want to use modern hardware then you need to run a more
modern operating system that is more suited to the hardware.

Some sort of disconnect here because my MOBO is compliant to multiple
OS, including the old ones.
It has SATA on board.
It is a SATA HDD.

Almost sounds like, if OS was not designed specifically with that in
mind, fagetaboutit.
And even if it was, if it don't work, we might fix it.
Or wait till next OS.
Or wait till 128bit.
Or gig-a-bit. You know what it is to be gigged-a-bit? ;-)
