SATA Hard Drive does NOT show up in Device Manager
What is the make/model of this card?

Actually, we are trying to bring-up a PCIe to SATA AHCI Card, and we dont
have the driver for the card. We expect the native AHCI drive of VISTA
should
take care of it. We wanted to understand the steps that VISTA does across
PCIe interface to recognize the SATA HDD. How do we get any documentation
on
the steps that VISTA performs?

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.
