    do you have the drivers for the sata controller? put them on a floppy and hit F6 when windows setup tells you to.

    cpu is right, you need the drivers on a floppy when you're installing Windows onto a drive attached to a SATA and/or RAID controller. If it didn't come with a floppy, check the motherboard manufacturer's website for the download you need.

    Serial ATA drives do not have a master/slave jumper.
