ABIT NF7-S Ver 2 Serial ATA Problem

[Sandbaggermb]

I bought a Serial ATA Drive (maxtor), got it connected to the motherboard (NF7-S Ver 2) and the computer sees the drive, but when I go to install Windows 2000 professional, I get to the part where I hit F6 to install the drivers off the floppy and that goes fine. It installs and copies files then comes to a part where it says your computer will reboot in 15 seconds if you have a floppy in please remove it and when it reboots it goes into the process of reinstalling windows all over again. I have basically unplugged everything in my computer except the bare essencials to run. What I have running is the following.

Motherboard-ABIT NF7-S Ver 2
CPU-AMD XP 3200+ 400 bus
Memory-Geil Golden Dragon Series PC 3200 1G
Hard Drives-Maxtor 160G SATA, Seagate Barracuda IDE 60G and Maxtor IDE 250G (All 7200 RPM have the 60G and 250G unplugged right now for the purpose of trying to install windows)
Video Card-Powercolor ATI 9800 Pro 128mb
DVD Burner-Plextor 8X
CD Burner-Lite-on 52x24x52
Power Supply-600watt
CPU Cooler-Thermaltake Silent Boost

When it reboots, go into bios and set the hdd as first boot device. Everything should be fine then.
