p4p800-e and promise controller problems

I have the P4P800-e motherboard. I have two IDE hard drives, a CD
Writer, and an LS120 Floppy drive hooked up on the boards regular IDE
channels. Everything has been working fine.

I bought a 160 gig Seagate IDE drive which I am trying to install on the
Promise controller. I enabled the promise controller in the BIOS and
set it to IDE. I downloaded and installed the IDE promise driver from
the Asus website. The BIOS recognizes the drive (as 149 gig if that
matters), but Windows XP does not see the drive. It is warm, so I assume
it is spinning up. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks for
any help.

When I said the drive was recognized by the BIOS, I meant it showed up
correctly while booting. However, when I go into the BIOS, it does not
appear as a master or slave drive that I can configure. It is
configured as a master with the jumpers on the drive.
 
Format the drive if you havn't done so. You also need XPsp1 for the
drive to be recognised above the 137gig barrier.
