I installed my new sata2 drive with no problems what so ever. When i got to windows i found it wasnt in my computer. I checked device manager and everything seemed to be in order. But i just couldnt see or use it in any way. I checked the bios and it wasnt being detected as a Sata drive but it still knew it was there.

Then i switched to the 'non-raid' mode and it started to get detected. However, when i tried to boot up windows. I get a BSOD right at the beggining of the windows loading screen!

Any one have any ideas

p.s i have tried switching the jumpers to 1.5 as my mobo only supports Sata and not Sata2
 
Yeah that was the problem. I had checked that before and seen that it wasnt on the first list. So then i scrolled down on the lower window and all i had to do was click initialize. Im formatting and making the partition as we speak so fingures crossed! Thanks Guys!
