MSI K7N2 Delta, Windows S2k3 and SATA...not all working together

The system has been running off IDE drives fine. I decided to switch to SATA drives, I was planning on using windows to mirrir the IDE drive onto the SATA drive and then remove the IDE drive (hoping it all then works off the serial drive-have had good luck with windows mirroring lately).
However, I cannot even get the SATA drive recognized by windows. The bios sees the SATA drive fine, but the device manager does not nor does computer management console.
I have checked and updated all drivers/bios. The Promise controller is seen by Windows in the devie manager and I did install the S2k3 driver.
Is it not possible to run the IDE and SATA drives at the same time? Is this a compatability issue with S2k3? Any ideas? Are the SATA connectors only good for a SATA Raid setup?
The online manual reads incorrectly for my revision of the motherboard and I cannot seem to fine the one that came with the board.
Cheers
Greg
