i brought a new SATA hard drive. 500g.
plugged it into my MB (asus amd m2n 64x2 dual processor 5600+)
bios saw it, but windows won't.

tried downloading all sorts of drivers off websites and drivergenius, still no go.

i went out and brought a PCI.E-Sata+sata+ide card today, pluged it in, windows sees the card, but i still ca't access the drive.

what i want to do is transfer all my data from my secondary IDE 500g, to my new sata( which will get rid of the ide expansion card i needed to run the hd-my motherboard only has 1 ide chain) and give my old one to a friend who is having some real-life issues as a nice gift.

but... i can't do it unless i get this piece of crap to work for me.

please i beg you, all this stress, as well as my already stressful son is making me crazy.
