How about a BIOS update?
GXDeMoNN, on reflection, I came up with something else that you might to try.
Since setting this computer up in 2000(I'm a "homebrewer" myself), have you updated or "flashed" the BIOS? An update to the BIOS might give you an easy way to modernize the SATA drivers which are built into the BIOS programs. Go to the website of the motherboard manufacturer(ASUS, ECS, etc.) and check for this type of update. It would most likely take the form of a 1.44 Meg disk image. It would help if your computer has a 1.44 Meg(floppy?) disk drive.

C-BIOS(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual C-BIOS(7)
NAME
C-BIOS - provides open source BIOS ROM files for MSX computers
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the C-BIOS rom files.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
C-BIOS is an open source BIOS for MSX computers. C-BIOS can be shipped with MSX emulators so they are usable out-of-the-box.
Details about the BIOS calls available in the ROM files can be found at http://map.tni.nl/ but keep in mind the C-BIOS is work in progress
and does not support all BIOS calls yet.
C-BIOS comes in three versions currently. C-BIOS_MSX1 is compatible with MSX1 machines, C-BIOS_MSX2 is compatible with MSX2 machines and C-
BIOS_MSX2+ is compatible with MSX2+ machines.
Each version comes in three localisation variants, an international, Japanse (JP) and Brazilian (BR) one.
