I need HELP setting up a Serial ATA Hard Drive

Hey guys, I'm trying to install a 250-gig Maxtor Serial ATA drive on my system, but I'm having problems.

When I try to install Windows, it gets to the point where it asks where I want to install it, but the drive isn't listed there. I can TAB into the Sata Raid Bios, but it's telling me that there's not an adequate number of disks to create a RAID.

The thing is that I don't want to create a RAID, I just want to hook up one Serial ATA drive. Is my problem the fact that you MUST use 2 drives or what ? I've tried to change some options, but didn't really find the right one. The system DOES recognize the drive.

I'm no genious here when it comes to technical stuff, so please excuse me if I sound stupid, Serial ATA is all new to me
