vista x64 ultimate wont see hdd

as title says vista wont see my HD... says i need to install drivers.. i have 1 750gb hdd had this problem back when i built it too i believe but cant remember how i got around it.. the HDD im trying to format now "have the disc that came with the hdd drivers NOT on that according to vista" is the ST31000528A5 drive.. iv tried everything when it boots it sees it connected in the sata slot x when vista comes to install it wont see my active 720 hd or my 1tb HD says i need to load drivers my mobo is the evga 790i, this is VERY frusterating

The whole reason i got the new HD is because my computer freezes after about 6 min every single time.. running 6600cpu 790i mobo 2 9800gtx sli not sure wha the problem is! anyhelp would be apreciated, cant seem to find the driver for the ST31000528a5 either, so now im stuck anyone have tips? getting to the point where i just may buy a prebuild POS rather than build a new PC this stress isnt worth it

Try another hard drive. If neither work, try flashing the motherboard. Vista should install a generic drive controller for that hard drive, so it could be a motherboard issue.

Try what is suggested. If you are using those SATA cables came with that evga board, try some after market ones to see if helps. Some time those cables looks like well connected but it is not. You may also try to play around with different ports.

Hope this helps,
