1. Have you gone into the BIOS to check that nothing to do with the IDE controllers has been configured out by mistake - if unsure just use the option to return the BIOS to the factory settings.
2. With everything connected are all components on IDE channels being shown in the Power On Self Test screen at the single beep code? (any more than a single beep could mean componant failure, or not properly inserted)
3. Have you got your SATA drivers on floppy motherboard mfctrs always supply them on CD, you need to put them onto floppy for stage 4 below
4. Raid can only be set up if you press F6 at the right time during the windows installation - when it askes for something like "press f6 if you wish to install 3rd party raid/scsi drivers etc" - once pressed later on during installation, you will be prompted to insert the drivers from the floppy disk.
Hope this is of some help, but if i can have a little think of any other routes to try will post them up later
