BIOS is recognizing my seagate SATA 120g drive (only HDD) as a SCSI drive. I have it plugged into SATA 1 on the mobo. So, when I get into windows installation it wont recognize the drive. Im not trying to set up a RAID, so would I need to still install the RAID drivers or are there seperate SATA drivers I need to pick up to do this. When I installed this same drive onto the rig in my sig, windows auto recognized it and installation was a breeze; however, on my new Epox board (9HEAI via chipset) it isn't happening. So, any hints would be much appreciated as it's sitting over in BIOS in the corner right now :(
 
Some chipsets need the sata drivers loaded from install by hitting f6 at the very beginning. It's not necessarily raid drivers. My board also requires the base drivers for non-raid to be loaded if I want to install to a sata drive.
