SATA Drive Connection.

I finally got my new Motherboard installed, Gigabyte = GA-7NNXP which
comes SATA ready, I only want to hook one SATA Raptor 10,000 rpm HD for my
O/S so i don't need the RAID function. This had Awards BIO's duo bio's,
I know it has something to do with the SATA set-up in the bio's that I'm not
setting up correctly, But when I try to install XP Home it get's past the
driver f-6 part and thats all ok. Then it ask if I want to install XP when
I select Enter it say's theres no HD, "please connect a HD" select f-3 to
restart.
When I start my pc it lists all the drives connected, includeing the
Raptor, The Raptor HD is the only drive connected when I try this also. If
someone has this set-up Please help me set-up the bio's...... Thank You.

Posting four (4) times is not necessary. Pave you read the
motherboard manual and any instructions that came with the
SATA drive?
