I am Trying to install Vista.

I have a SATA Hardrive, it is recognized in the bios. But it won't be recognized in the Vista Install, No drives were found. I know this is a driver issue, I got the disk i got from dell with the device drivers on it, transferred them over to a flash drive and tried to install them. I scanned the folder, and none of the drivers came up as compatible, they all came up as incompatible.

I have a Dell Inspiron 530, Vista HomePremuim 64 Bit
My Hardrive is a Samsung HD642JJ
4 Gb of Ram
Intel Core 2 Duo

Thanks in Advance

Have look at this:
