Need help with seagate harddrive sata

[NaveDrahcir]

I just put together a new computer with an asus A8V Deluxe
and seagate 160 gb sata harddrive model #ST3160023AS
it is not detecting the drive
does anyone know what i can do? i have never installed a sata harddrive before so its possible i could have missed something simple.

check the data and pwr cables. also ensure that the bios is set to boot to the sata drive.

when you install windows, you have to hit f6 and install additional drivers, i have the exact same board and drive. On the asus CD, go through the drivers folders and look for the sata drivers, in their will be a program called makedisk.exe which will put the drivers onto a floppy disk. hit f6 when installing windows and it will install drivers and recognize it
