SATA installed, Windows stalls during loading.?

i have a chaintech 9cjs zenith board. i just bought a sata b/c my ide failed. i only have 1 sata installed and windows won't load. i installed the raid driver before installing windows and now on the loading windows screen (with the blue bar scrolling), it freezes. i've waited 10 minutes and nothing has happened. before i installed the raid drivers, but installed windows, at this screen i would be taken to a blue screen telling me there was an error. can anyone suggest anything??? thanks a lot.

as well as that, you have developed a keyboard error that's caused you to post that same question 4 times within 1 minute!!!

Reply:one question, how are you installing the raid features? pressing f6 and and inserting a floppy disk? please clarify that, then i may be able to help ya out.
Reply:I had a similar problem and I solved it by going into BIOS and enabling the serial ATA and configuring the IDE's. Some motherboards are unable to do this automatically. Make sure you have the serial ATA drivers installed. To do this run the windows setup from dos and when the blue screen comes up install this 3rd party drivers. In Motherboards such as the lan party pro you need to enable this in order for the OS to boot and choose the right sequence, and in some like Asrock you need to install the driver as bios wont recognize it on its own.
