Right click My Computer, Select Properties, Select Hardware Tab, Click Device Manager button. Click on the (+) next to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Right click on Primary IDE Channel, Select Properties, Click on Advanced Settings Tab, Click on the Pull down arrow, Select PIO only.

Some have succeeded by using the Intel controller drivers rather than Windows.

I think, but am not positive, that you can set a VIA based board through the bios depending on which VIA IDE drivers you are using.
Take a look at this page: http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=66
