Weird....
After I installed a new Seagate SATA 80Gigger
(why-oh-why), my desktop refuse to wake up from Standby... 
The bootup (and the OS load) happens through the primary PATA master
I am using an Asus a8V Deluxe Mobo (Winnie 3200) and the drive is hooked to the Mobo though the VIA SATA controller Ch1
(The MoBo also has 2 additional SATA connectors for RAID config which uses a Promise chipset SATA controller but that is as yet unused....
I feel like tearing my hair out coz I usually never shut down my dekstop, and since it is used only in the mornings/late nights, i let it go off to sleep after like 1 hr of inactivity
And after this stupid SATA disk, every time it goes to sleep, i need to hard reset the machine to revive it
