Missing SATA Drives

[Guest]

I have successfully installed Windows Vista Beta 2 on my primary ide drive,
but I cannot see my SATA drives under windows. Disk Management shows them as
missing, and I can't reactivate them.

I presume the problem lies with the sata controller, but I can't seem to
find the appropriate driver for it. My Mobo is an ASUS A7N8X deluxe with
onboard SATA. It uses the NForce2 chipset. I have tried different
combinations of drivers from ASUS, Nvidia but to no avail.

Can anyone help?

I will suggest double checking your bios to assure that the sata function is
enabled. Check the device manager to assaure the sata contoller driver is
installed . Nvidia has released some Vista beta drivers for NForce chipsets.
Check their site for these drivers.
