gigabyte k8s760m- sata hdd not being detected?

[Maezr]

I'm setting up a new system. this is the first time I've ever used sata. the power and the sata cable are connected to the drive (and the motherboard). when the bios is in sata scsi/raid mode, it doesn't detect them at all

when it's in sata/ide mode, it just hangs (if I unplug the hdd and reboot, it doesn't hang)

any suggestions?

no clue, huh?

Install the sata driver

what? isn't it part of the bios? if not.. how do I "install" it?

it isn't showing up in the bios. I don't mean in the OS (it's the primary HDD, so I don't even have an OS on it yet..)

really need help on this...
