I'm going off your sig here - according to Newegg's pics of your mobo's retail kit, it only came with one SATA data cable. You will need to acquire one more of these. You may be able to find the cable sheaper elsewhere, but that's what you need. Connect the aformentioned cable to the drives and the SATA ports on your mobo, make sure that SATA is enabled in your BIOS (consult your mobo manual), then proceed with installation of Windows. You may also need an F6 floppy, your mobo manual should address this.
