adding a SATA drive to an IDE mobo

i recently purchased a 1TB SATA hard drive for my computer,
as the motherboard (MSI Kt4 Ultra) uses IDE connections to hard drive, i also purchased a PCI card to plug the SATA drive into.

Now unfortunately I cannot seem to access the SATA drive, it's not showing up in bios and nor find any clues on the internet of how to install it


Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

ps:
here's the HD and PCI card

PCI - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/48670

 

Did you get a driver disk with the PCI card? Also what OS that you are running would be helpful.

 

if you have loaded up the driver for the card go into disk Management look for your new SATA drive right click on the shaded area for this drive and select Format.

If your having trouble loading up the driver for the card try swapping the PCI slot its in.

 

okay, got it working now, cheers


just out of curiosity, is this drive now suitable to install and run programs from?

(btw; I have windows XP installed on the older HD)

 

yes you can set-up the software on any drive, just create a folder on it called program files then when you set-up your software change the default location the software wants to install to, so if it wants to install to C:\program files just change the letter to D E or whatever the new drives letter is.

 

great! thanks!
