SATA on Gigabyte DS3?

[shadow300z]

Can someone please tell me how to get the bios to recognize a SATA hard drive I have on this PC? No matter which SATA port I use(gigabyte or intel)it seems like bios doesn't recognize it.

BTW I'm using the F4 bios, and running VISTA on my 2 IDE HDs at the moment.

Nope, it's a Seagate 320 GB.

Have you tried a different cable?

A, Sata cable plugged in? the ds3 has a locking mechanism, it should actually "click" into place.

B. does it have power?

C. in bios are sata connects (0-3) turn on?

D. in bios do you have those channels set to none instead of auto?

E. Sure the drive isn't dead?

F. Sure the Sata Cable isnt broken?
