Just buy a SATA to PATA adapter... chortle!

Seriousry though, just a guess but if not plugged into one of the Intel storage controller's ports then try those (as opposed to an auxilliary's). Otherwise vice versi (as Bugs Bunny would say).

Hum. I've heard of problems about this. Ironically you need to install windows, then run the SATA driver off the motherboard disc... but you can't because your drive isn't working . Borrow an IDE drive from somewhere, they're floating about all over the place. Nick one from a PC in work for a day or something.

Have you got the drive in one of the specific boot ports on the board?
