i,d say you need to install a windows xp,sata driver for your mobo .I didnt install a driver cos my bios ,detected the sata hd immediatly,i just installed winxp,service pack 2 .you can download drivers from the mobo manufacturer website.or ask sum1 on boards.ie to email them to you.have you got service pack 2 install. i have my sata driver cd ,never used it though.There shoud be a sata controller showing up in control panel/ hardware/device manager.
