Can you help with Vista install problems- sata driver?”
Vista will most likely recognize it depending on what brand card you buy. I would just make sure to see that if you do decide to go through this route, to make sure the card you buy is Vista compatible. I mean, you’re saying that you can’t even get the Vista setup to see it, so why not try installing the drive through the PCI card, and then through the motherboard after Vista is installed. That may not work, but you can always simply just keep your SATA drive on the PCI card. I’m pretty sure the throughput of your drive will not change if you’re using the PCI card. Let me know how it turns out!
