how is your SATA controller configured in the BIOS? There is likely a setting for native so that it will be seen by the os natively as opposed to having to add SATA controller drivers. Or you need to add the SATA drivers to your UA cd so that they are available in text mode.

I think the same as IcemanND... you'll have to add some driver for the latest Intel SATA Controller (ICH7 or ICH8)
Otherwise it is a configuration issue in the BIOS (try using legacy setting for your hard drive)
I took care of it!

Download the SATA controller drivers from Intel. Check the unattended guide here http://unattended.msfn.org/ for instructions on integrating them into you UACD.

Are you using the DriverPacks?
Maybe you'll want to consider this. I'm suprised no one else mentioned this.
Check out my signature for location of these. Together with the PowerPacker, it may help.
It's really easy to add unsupported drivers in the DriverPacks too.
