    Does it show any yellow exclamation point or anything like that in the device manager? Perhaps your drive is already functional.

    Look in the Disk Management.

    Start>Control Panel>Switch to Classic View>Administative tools>Computer Management>Disk Management.

    Does the drive show up there?

    there's not exclamation marks or warnings in device manager and the drive doesn't show up in disk man'ment

    Well there&#39;s not much I can do in BIOS I&#39;m afraid.
    Because I don&#39;t have SATA drives in my machine,when I hit F4 during start up it just says "no drives detected" and keeps on going...
    I see on page 91 of the manual a section about SATA RAID configuration, but that seems to assume the use of two HDDs, which apparently you don&#39;t have, right?
    I&#39;m stumped...temporarily.

    Open the Windows Device Manager to verify that the SATA host adapter is working. It should be listed under the category SCSI Controllers, SCSI Adapters, or SCSI and RAID Controllers
    Is this there on your machine?

    that&#39;s how it&#39;s supposed to be, but mine is staying at the default name

    I think you should try manually installing the correct drivers, it sounds to me like Windows is using the wrong ones.

    Force it to install the drivers you got from the Silicon Image website.
