Motherboard won't detect SATA HDD..
I have a weird problem.. my motherboard detects the SATA HDD, but it doesn't.. I can see it in 'My Computer', but when I go to BIOS it's not even there. Has anyone had this problem before? Please pass me some info.

Yea, I already enabled it in bios, and it is plugged in correctly.. I'm actually using my HDD right now as I type, but it just won't show up in BIOS.
