Vista doesn't recognize my hard drive when installing

When I get to the part of vista installation where it asks which hard drive
I would like to install to it says there are no hard drives found. I have
checked multiple times that the hard drive is hooked up correctly, but they
are still not found. My hard drive is a Western Digital SATA SE Caviar
500GB.

Also, I have looked for SATA drivers that came with my mobo (GIGABYTE
GA-X38-DS4) but I don't see any that apply to what I need, as the only
drivers that they appear to have are ones for AHCI/RAID configurations which
I am not using.

If anyone has any ideas on what I should try to do I would greatly
appreciate it.
