There is a section on enabling RAID where you can pick SATA. I'm not using RAID, but I left that to SATA anyway. The thing I don't uderstand about the drivers is, I thought the drive would be recognized in BIOS because of the Intel Southbridge chipset. I was under the impression all of that was...

The software came on a CD. I'm at work at the moment, but I'll look at what's on the CD when I get home. I still don't know what hitting F6 does. I know that F8 will get me into Windows alternate boot etc. menu, but how about F6?
