يقول أنه وصل الهارد دريف على منفذ الساتا في لوحة الأم على المنفذ الأساسي PRI SATA
والمنفذ يكون بالأسفل على اليمين

Short answer: My SATA drives were plugged into the wrong sata connectors on my K8V SE Deluxe. Anyone having the above mentioned problems/symptoms needs to visually check their motherboard and locate
BOTH pairs of SATA connectors and ensure that your none raid SATA drives are plugged into the pair that are side by side, not the pair that are situated on top of one and other. Page 2-3 in the K8V SE Deluxe manual will show this as well. The correct connectors are labeled "PRI SATA" and "SEC SATA", not "SATA1" and "SATA2".
An important note: If you are plugged into the wrong spots and plug your main booting SATA drive into the correct "PRI SATA", although it gets recognized correcly on boot up, your windows will probably crash, mine gets a quick blue screen and then restarts so I am now posting this with my SATA drive plugged back into the wrong port, and I will then probably just reformat and install fresh with my SATA drive connected correctly.
Long answer: Although I picked my computer setup from custom parts, it was assembled by the company I purchased it from and burned in/tested there. When I received my computer, I only had one SATA drive and no IDE drives. The drive was the WD 10k rpm Sata drive @ 36GB. And yes, those who assembled it had it plugged into the raid connector on the motherboard; but I can forgive them since I never noticed it either.
My computer worked fine until I quickly used up those 36GB (damn mmorpgs) and purchased a Seagate SATA drive, which I plugged in right next to my WD, on the onboard raid controller. I was under the assumption that the difference between an onboard raid setup and that of just two SATA drives working independant of eachother was software controlled, I never saw the other pair of SATA connectors on my motherboard. My computer worked ok for a week or so, then slowly started crashing/locking up/refusing to boot/ refusing to recognzie hard drives. I simply unplugged my new Seagate drive and things would go back to normal. I also tried every diagnostice drive utility out there, including seagate tools, wd tools, Ontrack recovery, ERD Commander, etc etc. Most errors were in regards to my "system file structure" and none of those damn programs ever tried to fix jack, all they do is give error messages and prompt you to buy their other software which actually "fixes" the problem, what a joke.
I also received the same error, which is how I found this thread "Cable Test::Read diagnostice sector error!" Knowing now that the cable was plugged into the wrong place, the error message makes a little bit more sense, however in a perfect world the error message could have included some advice towards checking raid/sata cable arrangement.
So again, even if you have troubleshooted this for a long long time like I have, do a big double check and recognize that there are TWO pairs of connectors on the motherboard, and ensure that if you are not running a raid setup, that the correct ports are the bottom, side by side pair. Yes there is an option in the bios that changes raid operatoin to ide, but again this is misleading since there is no reason to plug into those raid ports when the normal SATA ports are right beneath.
**Update**
I formated and reinstalled with both drives connected to "
PRI SATA" and "SEC SATA". Installation went fine, and I just now ran the WD Diagnostics and
I received no cable error and the drive tested fine.
