When you boot up is there a card bios keyboard shortcut, that you have to
select in order to initialise the sata disk?
The card manufacturers help file should explain, and also detail whether any
specif drivers are required

I am trying bring-up a new SATA Hard Drive through PCIe to SATA AHCI Host
Card.

We find that Vista recognized the AHCI Controller and it shows up in the
Device Manager. It successfully allocates the memory and IRQ, and says
that
the Device is working properly.

But the HDD is not recognized. When we look at the PCIe analyser, we see
that the OS is continuously polling the AHCI Interrupt Status Register
(Addr:
0x08). This register is reading 0x0 all the time.

Any help on this is appreciated. Is there any way to find out the flow to
find a device.
