    Sata HDD problem

    I just got a SATA drive and I can't get it working.

    This is my first time using a SATA drive so yeah.


    It can't find it whilst installing Windows, yes I have the floppy disk with the drivers on it, but it still doesn't find anything.

    This is 32 bit Windows, but I have tried alternative drivers for Windows XP 64-bit.

    I've connected everything up OK, but there is an extra molex connection (plus the standard data and power sata cables).


    Any help? ASAP if possible please.


    Thanks!

    OK, it was a problem in the bios *embaressed*. It was hidden away.
