A some-what common problem is "RAID" turned on in the bios on a
"Fake-RAID" controller (i.e. a RAID controller that requires special
software drivers to work).

Check the system bios and/or the SATA controller bios (if it has one) to
make sure that any RAID settings are disabled.


If it happens to be a "real" hardware RAID controller, sometimes you
have to create the RAID volumes and initialize them before the operating
system can see the drives.


If neither of those suggestions do the trick, it would be helpful if we
knew the make/model of the SATA controller (and/or the make/model of the
server)
