    Hey!
    Have you installed the SATA drivers that came with the motherboard or its the Windows 7 default drivers that have been installed? If you have not installed the drivers manually, i suggest you install the drivers that has come with the Motherboard CD for Vista. This may help you. All the best!

    Hey!
    If yours is an intel chipset motherboard, download the latest SATA/AHCI drivers which are available. Though not originally from intel but it works and its worth a try. Download the drivers from here All the best. Do post back if this doesn't help!
