SATA HDD Install Problem

[cavalierguy]

Hey, I am building a system for a buddy but im having problem installing the hard drive. The system is an AMD 64 3400+ on a Asus K8V-X mobo. it has onboard SATA. the HDD is a western digital 160GB SATA. I have everything hooked up and it recognizes the HSS in the bios, but under primary master IDE it says not installed. however in boot sequence it says the HDD via SATA or something like that. When I start to install windows 2000 it comes back with the error message that no hard drive is attached. I also tried to install a secondary RAID / SCSI driver and it dosent make a different. SATA is enabled in the bios and I cant figure out whats wrong. any ideas?
