You'll see a message like "Press F6 to install Extra Drivers" (at the bottom of the screen).. anyways.. you need to do this (hit f6) and then using the disk that should have come with your motherboard.. You have to install the appropriate Serial ATA drivers.. Otherwise the Install won't detect the SATA drives.

I have another IDE drive in there I could use. But it would require formatting it. Making me lose all my photoshop, and various other finished works I have on there. Which if the only way to get the computer to detect the sata drive is to install it after I get windows running, then I guess I have to give up all that photoshop works.

Besides that, my computer is up and running. Just a matter of reinstalling all the programs and getting things back to normal.
If anyone has had a problem with SATA drives after computer setup, let me know of a solution. But for now I'll be working on getting it to work....
GOOGLE AWAY!!!!!

I tried to install windows like you said, but ended up reformating in the end. I'm running completely off the IDE drive. The computer detects the SATA drive off the new hardware panel. But it won't say it's there under drives. I'm searching for drivers for it, to see if that will fix it.
