Question WIndows doenst Detect HD??

WIndows doesnt detect hard drive during installation process??

I have a Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra SLi Mobo(nforce4 chipset), Maxtor 6V160E0 160GB SataII Hard drive! All the cables seem connected in the right places, configured and latest BIOS updated...

Has anyone out there had this problem or similar.

You may need the SATA driver on a floppy disk - press F6 when prompted to load it.
