    if you are installing windows or any microsoft operating system, then do the following:

    1. Visit the manufacturer website of your harddrive.

    2. Download the driver for windows, and copy it on a floppy disk.

    3. when you start installing windows, press f6 when setup starts, insert the floppy disk, then continue setup

    I had this problem many times in sata harddrives, and this was the solution!>

    How many SATA controllers on the motherboard? Using RAID? Try disabling RAID or switching controllers. What kernel does RHEL 4 boot with? Isn't it an early 2.6? There was a fairly big update to libsata around 2.6.9 or 2.6.13.
