| | Setup Can't See SATA Hard Drive I have just built a new PC and am trying to install Vista Home Premium. All goes well with the set up until I click "Install now" and then I get a message saying "No drives were found" I have checked and double checked the hard drive is connected properly,¡. Am I missing something or is the drive DOA? In the BIOS the drive simply shows as "Hard Drive" It should be a Hitachi 160GB SATAII |

| | Re: Setup Can't See SATA Hard Drive You might have to have the driver CD for your motherboard for the SATA drivers. It should ask or prompt to press a key to load SATA or SCSI drivers when installing. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com "Rob" <Rob@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1DF6165A-C1F4-4A40-AADC-E32608099600@xxxxxx Quote: >I have just built a new PC and am trying to install Vista Home Premium.

| | Re: Setup Can't See SATA Hard Drive Hi and thanks for the reply. Couldnt get it to work no matter what I tried. Went and bought another HDD and guess what? It worked fine! The drive was DOA. Thanks again. Rob "Dustin Harper" wrote: Quote: > You might have to have the driver CD for your motherboard for the SATA > drivers.
