You have a SATA Controller card that you installed in a PCI slot..right??
Does it have an External SATA port sticking out the back of the computer??
or did it come with an extension that you need to plug into the controller
and attach to a vacant PCI slot??
Is the card recognized in your BIOS?? Does it show the Drive connected??
