I have connected a WD Raptor and a WD 320GB HDD onto SATA channels 1 and 2 on the motherboard. At Windows setup, I load the appropriate Silicon Image SATA drivers, but the drives do not get picked up.

Is there anything that needs to be done beforehand to enable SATA drives?

Thanks for all help.
 
Channel 1 and 2 of what chipset control. I think it belongs to Nforce 4 right?

If you cannot install drivers for Silicon, check again your bios, there's option to turn on Silicon chipset too.
 
Isnt that the nvidia controller you are talking about? If so, I just used a disk I made for my sli premium board to f6 the drivers on install.
 
^, exactly. The nVidia SATA ports have native support meaning Windows will recognize them without any need for drivers.
 
Interesting. Then I'm beginning to believe there are issues with the drive itself. The 74GB Raptor picks up fine now, and is showing under BIOS. However, the WD3200 (a SATA 3GB/s drive) is not.
