Get the latest drivers on a floppy, make sure you enable sata in the bios (and jumper the board in nec). When you do a fresh install make sure you hit f6 and install the driver when prompted.
A7n8x dlx 1004 Uber Agressive settings
2500Barton (Bastards locked it) Radeon 9200
WD 60g @7200w 8mg Cache Crucial 2700 2x 256

Not to hijack a thread but this seems to be a common problem, and I seem to have it.
I did the whole F6 thing, and used the drivers on the disk which came with my new motherboard. However this still resulted in the computer saying the Hard Disk didn't exist when I tried to set up Windows XP. This annoys me since I have browsed many forums and found others with this problem. However for most of them the drivers disk worked fine.
I have been through my entire BIOS (Award) and as far as I can tell the only mention of SATA is where you enable it or disable it. It is enabled.
Help!

Theres a little more to it than just enabling SATA, and hitting F6 to install drivers in Windows.
Several Gigabyte boards tend to refer to SATA as a SCSI device, therefore SCSI has to be set as a boot up drive. Depends on your board though on how it is supposed to be setup. Some boards have a "Boot Other Device" option.
What board do you guys have? And someone here may be able to help more.

If: 1) your SATA drive is connected to the controller and recognized by the BIOS; 2) you have no other drives in the system; 3) you install the SATA driver by hitting F6 and selecting it from the floppy and finally 4) Windows Setup doesn't recognize the drive during setup
Then: You've got the wrong driver.
