Have you loaded the Sata drivers? Is this drive the only Sata device in
your machine.

Being new to Sata myself I've just been told/informed that when installing
my OS I have to F6 to install drivers for Sata to get them recognized.

Mickey, that depends entirely on the mobo and whether or not you are using
Raid. If the mobo is several years old you would have to load drivers, but
if it is Vista you wouldn't use F6. That's for XP and earlier. In Vista
you use the Load Drivers button on the volume selection screen. If your
mobo is pretty new SATA support should be automatic (unless you are using
Raid).
