Installing Windows on a Dell machine with SATA? Check this tip...
Just a quick post to point out a link to tech spot:
Error Message:Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your system
This finally solved my problem of Windows not being able to find my hard drives. Specifically this post. I'm still not 100% sure why this fixed things, but I was able to get Windows Server 2003 installed at least. (Now I just need to get some drivers for my Ethernet card.)

Very interesting, indeed. Thanks for posting this Ray. I have added it to my bag of tricks.

Add to this one:
If you purchased an HP and you are having the same problem, go into the CMOS setup and change the SATA Mode: setting from Native to it's other option (different on varying HP's).

Glad to hear you fixed your issue Ray, I guess I was not far off when I was stating BIOS issues.
