You'll have to make sure the SATA controller is not disabled by the jumper
on the motherboard.

Then install the drivers for the SATA controller - check my FAQ in my sig...

I think they're .32, Asus have released the .40s, I've had no problems with
with either and recommend both, but since I haven't heard of any problem
related specifically to either of those drivers, I generally recommend the
latest.

do i need to update the serial ata bios?

Look down.

I have the asus 1007 bios installed on my version 2.0 deluxe...

That includes 4.2.27 of the SATA firmware which is the latest available (if
you know better, let me know)
