??That mobo has 2 different SATA chipsets........
Have you loaded the drivers for both??

??check your manual.It seems you are using the Intel chipset SATA
connectors.
I think you need to set them to "standard IDE mode" in the BIOS
The other connectors are set to "RAID' mode by default but you can change
that by
setting the Silicon Image Controller in the BIOS to "SATA" mode
I would try the change first on the Silicon Image Controller then shut down
and hook up you new
HD.......restart and see if its detected in the BIOS.
