SATA Disk not recognized in brand new server

hard drivehphp-proliantsata

We bought a HP Proliant ml350 g6 server for our work place. It comes with RAID 5 supportted by SAS disks. It also has SATA 750 GB disk.

We wanted to install windows server 2008, but the SATA disk is not detected. I thought it was a driver issue and installed the OS on the SAS disk. But even after installing the driver for SATA controller, the SATA disk is not detected.

I even tried a diferent slot for the SATA disk, but in vain.

Has this got anything to do with the BIOS settings. I see that all the SATA PCI have IRQ as 10. Should I change the IRQ's ? I think the DVD drive is also SATA.

I have given all the info I know. Please help me out. I am dejected with this.

What if you boot a linux LiveCD like the bootable Ubuntu CD? Does that see the drives on the controller? That could help narrow down if it's a drive/controller issue or a problem with a driver.
