Sata Drive Help (Urgent)!

[Casey]

Okay so I'm switching from IDE to sata and have my new sata drive installed and mounted in my desktop hooked into the first sata slot, now when I boot the computer up and log into Windows 7 I can navigate through and use the hard drive but when I go into my Windows 64-bit and 32-bit installers the hard drive is not displayed. Anything I can do?

I have three options in my motherboard for the sata drive, they are:
Native IDE
Raid
AHCI

Any suggestions?

Thanks for reading!​

Set it to native IDE but the problem lies where the new drive isn't partitioned or formatted and that's why windows won't detect it. You must go into disk management and partition/format it. Right click on computer, click on manage, click on disk management on left. Find the drive with no drive letter and go from there.

Nevermind I formatted it and set a new drive letter for it and it seems to work perfectly now!
Thanks John!
