    Normally Vista would have the required drivers built in.

    Have a look around the Intel site for AHCI drivers for the chipset your motherboard uses ie

    or you can use the IDE mode for the SATA drive and not require any additional drivers, in the bios you should be able to select ide mode, it may have a different name, but not SATA or RAID.

    See this thread for some info

    I had a similar problem with a new comp I built some time back but all I did was plugged in an IDE dvd rom and it booted from it , when everything was up and running just unplugged IDE and went back too sata , not sure if your motherboard has IDE or is it all sata ???

    Cheers

    Are you building a RAID setup?

    Have you told the BIOS which SATA port the boot drive is attached to?
