Just to confirm the most important issue thus far of this thread:

The P5K Premium has serious incompatibility issues with Western Digital and Samsung SATA II drives.

Seagate and Maxtor are fine; there are no known issues with SATA 1 drives (all raptors + others) and this board.
I've been using Sata II WD drives from day 1 and not one issue. Must be lucky.
