Usually when you install the motherboard chipset drivers, SATA support is part of that installation process unless you skipped on it earlier.
Once the SATA drive is physically installed and connected, make sure first that the SATA drive is detected by BIOS. Go to Standard CMOS Features in BIOS menu to find out. If not detected, go to Integrated Peripherals in BIOS menu. Look for something there that enables/disables the SATA controller. Make sure you set it to "enabled".

the hard drive should have come with a floppy. when you see the prompt to hit f6 to install a driver, hit f6 pop in the floppy and away you go.
