New Build Unable to Read SATA Drives

by sephiroth__vii . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

I just built a new computer, and it being my first ever, I was thrilled when I turned it on without anything catching on fire. I got into the BIOS fine, but i noticed in there, it will not reconize any of my SATA drives, (Two ASUS optical and Two Western Digital Raptor HDD)And of course from there I really can’t do much. Im unable to install any OS, and when I contact the MB manufacture (MSI) all they said was to make sure they drives were ATI SATA compatible, which tells me nothing, because I went all over the two drives websites and there was nothing about an ATI SATA compatible drive. I even looked around on the web to find any drive that said it was ATI SATA compatible without much success. Any ideas. (BTW i already updated BIOS, made sure the SATA conection is solid, made sure the Disk drives were not defected and yes they are plugged into the power.) Thanks
