Go into BIOS setup and make sure that SATA/RAID is enabled. Make sure you have the latest drivers. Check with Intel:

Links listed in order from specific to general, search SATA BIOS from the last link to check for yourself.

That is about all I've got, Intel suggests the same things that I did, but there may be more, so go have a look-see.
