Here's a shot in the dark, go into bios and take it out of ahci mode and change it to ide, then set the hdd to auto, do the same with unknown decice which will be you cd/ dvd drive, save and exit. This will allow you to not use the ahci controlller drivers. You should be able to boot the computer now and see the drives in explorer
Check for power on the Sata Power Cables.
Y= 12v
R= 5v
O= 3v
After you've done the bios the computer should boot from the c;/ if there is an os installed
So is that it, its my SATA controller?
It sounds like you don't have drivers installed for your sata controller. When you put it in IDE mode you are bypassing the SATA controller which is how i have mine setup, but it has to be set up in bios. My next question is do you have your Win 7 disk?
