try a different S-ATA cable or S-ATA port on the motherboard. Does the drive power up? (You should be able to hear if it is, listen closely near it)

does the bios see the sata drive? check in the bios to see if sata is enabled.

Some motherboards have a RAID utility built in the BIOS thats separate from the normal BIOS, this is where you can stripe, mirror etc. Check you mobo manual to see if it has one of these.
