If BIOS doesn't detect it, try jumpering it for 3Gbps.

Jumper Settings for WD SATA and EIDE Hard Drives:

If it's a case of Windows not detecting your SATA controller, look for a preinstall driver and press F6 during setup. Alternatively, reconfigure your BIOS for legacy or IDE compatibility mode. Windows will then revert to its own native IDE drivers.
