    I have a MSI K9AGM3-FD (MS-7367) motherboard, and cant seem to get it to pick up SATA in Windows.

    I had Windows XP SP3 up until yesterday and couldnt pick it up so stuck on Windows 7, and now still cant pick it up.

    In Device manager in XP, there was an SM Bus controller showing not installed. "SM" standing for secondary master.

    I should also point out here that in Device manager, it does show a second hard drive, and this is the SATA drive. It just wont show up as D: or whatever in My Computer.

    Is there a driver i need to get or whats the deal here?


    Cheers

    You,ll need to go to disk management- format disk, use ntfs, is this a new sata drive, no data on it.
