detection of sata depends on ur bios too..
btw did u get a proper power cable..
coz wen i purchased a sata.. i got a faulty cable..
so check if ur sata disk is running wen ur pc is on..(touch n c for some kinda vibrations)

eep this is for setting up RAID man you dont need any drivers for setting up SATA drives...........
to the OP what does your BIOS show, does the HDD show up there.??

I dont know why people are suggesting RAID. The HDD should be detected by PC. Check Cables is my suggestion and also check if it shows in BIOS
