Check the drive for a jumper to set 150Mbit/300Mbit speed... some older boards won't recognize drives at 300Mbit. I had the same problem with my A8V boards.

Is this the only hard drive in your machine? I ask because there are different solutions if it is not.

make sure you hd is plugged in correctly from your powersupply to the sata power.
next check you bios to check if sata is enabled.

when you say the computer won't read it, do you mean the bios doesn't even see that a drive is attached, or that the windows XP install disc doesn't see a drive?
If you're trying to install XP onto a SATA drive then you need to turn on IDE emulation in the bios, different manufacturers have different names for it. Otherwise you will need to load SATA drivers during the XP install using a floppy.

make sure that when you plug it in, the device driver auto installs (you hope) within the device manager...also as mentioned, put a jumper on the HD (by the ata connections) to downspeed that sucker...some images on which pins to connect should be on the HD itself

Did you initialize, partition (fdisk), and format the HD first?
