Trouble detecting a SATA hdd

I had 3 hard drives, 2 ide and one sata. One ide was being used for programs, one for data, and then sata was also data. The program ide was going bad, so i moved the data from the data ide to the sata drive, pulled the bad ide, and installed windows on the other IDE drive. After getting to windows and installing sata drivers, windows isnt recognizing the SATA drive. The drive is detected by the SATA raid controller and the bios, but I cant see it in My Computer. Does anybody have any suggestions?

The mother board is an ABIT nf7-s, and the ide hdd is a 120gb seagate ide and the sata is a 320 gb seagate.
 
having the same problem here. Installed a new seagate sata 3.0 250gb and windows xp doesn't recognize it. It is default setting 1.5...enabled in Bios...and read somewhere that if you are not in Raid you don't need to install the sata drivers from the mobo install cd. Any suggestions?
 
I went into the device manager, and found the hard drive. It was labeled as a group of forigen disks. Will importing it remove the data on the hard drive?
 
Try this:
Control Panel > Admin Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management, right click a drive and make them active.
