Vista wont reconize harddrive!

how would i install sata drivers from the cd from the bios?

when the windows cd loads, there a part for installing drivers

the driver info is D:\Other\GSATA\Driver\x32 on my gigabyte cd. I copy those files to a floppy disc. when I install xp or vista, I hit f6 at the beginning of the install to install sata or scsi drivers. I think vista have a "have disc" option when it can't find the hard drive

you can also import the driver into the xp or vista cd with nlite or vlite

ya i have the option to browse for drivers because it cant find a drive. I imported the ones you posted above and it didnt work.

yeah i can see my hdd in my bios.

My hdd is plugged into Sata1 on my mobo and my dvd drive on Sata2 is that right
