My SATA HardDrive not detected during installation of XP

[Huff]

Ok, first off here are my systems Specs....

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA 80 GB
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Thermaltake Venus 7+ CPU fan
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Asus K8V SE Deluxe
RAIDMAX ATX-868WBP
1 GB Corsair PC 3200

Now to the problem.
--Here are the steps I have taken so far--
1. Installed the drive properly in the case.
2. Ran DiskWizard 2003
3. Configured the BIOS

After this I tried to install Windows XP Pro using the CD, and it would go fine untill it came to this ---> http://seagate.com/support/disc/images/sata_detect1.jpg

I downloaded the following Asus driver Promise SATA378 Driver V1.00.0.26 (ATA Mode). I put this on a disk, and ran it when I got to this screen by pressing F6 in the begingin of installation ---> http://seagate.com/support/disc/images/sata_detect2.jpg

It came up with with the driver for XP and I selected it. I continued installing only to come to the same problem, "Setup did not find any hard disk drives on your computer."

I have contacted Asus for support, only to be given a ticket in which they will call me back. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Its a problem that XP and Sata has. Unfortunately I am not up to speed on the situation seeing i dont have and SATA deviced.

My advice would be too keep nagging asus about it. Look at their faqs on their site.

Also check the manual for special instructions.

Does it catch the drive in the bios? And u made sure its a floppy disk, not a cd lol. Make sure all connections are snugg.
