I just put my computer together with a raptor 10000 rpm 8mb cache sata hdd, and when I go to install windows it says it can't find the harddrive, everything is plugged in right, cords, power etc. but it just wont work, is there anything I have to do in bios or anything at all. Thanks.

Did you install the SATA Drivers?

you probably need to hit f6 when asked if you need to install 3rd party drivers and you will need to have the sata drivers on a floppy hit s on keyboard and enter with disk in drive if your installing xp

^ that and you need to review the BIOS setting to make the SATA the boot drive, and those very quite a bit from one manufacturer to another, I'll try to find out what exactly that is later today, right now I have to go to court :rolleyes:

The driver disk is bundled with the MoBo. You should have them somewhere...you are going to have to download them from the mobo site if you can't locate the actual disks, but you do need them.
