I am using an old motherboard, which uses SiS645DX chipset (motherboard is P4S533-E). I needed a new hard disk, so I bought a PCI controller card knowing that the motherboard doesn't have native SATA support. This is the card: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4706

I bought a 320gb western digital hard disk - WD32 00AAKS, and connected everything. Under my computer there is no new drive registered. Under Disk management the disk is registered but it says not initialized. When I right click on it there is no initialize option.

I have searched the net and looked on the western digital website but there is no answer to my specific problem. I can't find any thread with the same problem. Everyone just says right click and click on initialize but that option is not there for me. what can I do? I've tried putting the hard disk in channel 0, and channel 1 but still no luck.

All my drivers are up to date. and under device manager it says the device is working properly.

nevermind I wasn't right clicking on the correct place.
