Here is my setup

System:
AMD 2400+ Athlon CPU
ECS KT600A motherboard (2 IDE slots & 2 SATA controller ports)
2GB DDR PC 2700 RAM
120 GB Seagate IDE HDD (slave) WinXP OS installed on this HDD
320 GB Western Digital Caviar blue SATA HDD 3GB/s (after much trouble I installed a jumper on pins 5&6 to change the speed to 1.5 GB/s

My problem:

My system was working fine until I tried to install my WD SATA hard drive. I set the BIOS to enable the SATA controller but the BIOS does not show my SATA drive on either of the SATA controllers. Disk management in XP does not show my SATA drive either. Device manager shows that my VIA driver is installed but has a yellow exclamation point on it with an error code 10. I tried downloading another VIA VT8237 Sata controller driver but this did not help. I've tried changing the SATA cables, installing the drive in the other SATA controller port and neither of these efforts fixed the problem either. I believe I have a problem with the driver but don't know what steps to take from here. I've read some of the posts about slipstreaming but I don't really understand what this does or how to do it. Does anyone know what might be causing my problem?

I guess the problem is in XP+SATA rather than in your BIOS. Have a look here:
