Installing Sata Drives.....?

Just received my Gigabyte DS3P Motherboard over the weekend and tried to install my old HDD's onto it but it would boot purely because my old C Drive was dead. Anyway, so i have another storage HDD also taken from the same old computer but for some strange reason bios cannot find this HDD :confused:

I have always read that you need to install Sata drivers for these but i have never had to do this with these HDD! In the past when i come to install Windows XP it will always detect the HDD but when i come to do it this time, it says that it cannot detect any HDD when there is definately one plugged in :mad:

Any ideas

But in the past i have literally just plugged them in and off i went without doing that process :confused:

Do they have these options on the DS3P Motherboard.....? Will try that when i get home, if that fails what are my other options?

Tried the above and everything was fine on the motherboard.......? I got a gut feeling that the old computer took both HDD's with them
