You can check it status by opening up your device manager and choosing properties on the SATA contollers.

[post="18183"][/post] No the drives that i use support the NCQ function (Seagate 7200.07, MAXTOR Diamond Max Plus 10 300Go 16Mo cache and Hitachi 7K500 SATA II 500Go...) but i don't find anything in the bios to enable the NCQ before XP installation like the Intel platform (AHCI to enable in the bios and SATA NCQ driver when installing Windows XP by pressing F6)... May i used the wrong SATA pilot ?

You gotta use the driver pack from nVidia - you dont need to enable anything in the bios as TCQ is part of the SATA protocol.

Choose either Primary Channel or Secondary Channel tab and check the "Enable command queuing" checkbox.
