Installed new PCI Serial ATA Host card

[Guest]

Hi Group,
I installed a PCI Serical ATA host card and hooked up a hitachi 1TB HDD to it... But it is not showing up in my BOIS, Device manager, or anywhere else I can thik to check.
The controller card show it as being a 465gb HDD when i turn on the computer. Then says 'no device'.... I've checked all the connections to the PCI Serial ATA Host card, and the HDD all cables and such are pushed in and the card is fully seated. Any other suggestions?

I think so. I have no caution signs when looking at the device manager...

And the card is listed under controllers?

 

[Guest]

it is not listed as PCI Serial ATA Host card but there is something listed as IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers... So I am assuming that is it.

Nope, I would not think thats it.
The bios wont see the drive because the drive is not connected to a bios controlled controller - so it knows nothing of the drive.

What controller did you get?
