WD black caviar 1tb not being reconised? help!

i just build a pc of my own (finally) and everything is going good until the vista installation wizard thing comes to installing windows on the hdd. the hdd does not show up in the list. and it didnt come with any drivers or anything?

the system is;

i7 920
6bs ddr3 corsair (1333mhz)
p6t mobo standard
gtx 260

know why this would happen?

please help

thanks in advance

Check all the cable connectors on the hard drive and motherboard.

Make sure the HDD's SATA cable is plugged into the the top RIGHT RED SATA ANGLED port. NOT the orange ports or the ports nearest to the DIMM slots.

The orange ports are extra SATA ports for a separateRAID-0 or 1 array when your RED SATA ports are full.
