SATA disk missing?

Hey

I have trouble with installing Gentoo 2007.0 because it does not find a device to install on?

I have installed Fedora Core 7, Ubuntu 7.04 and both worked fine but when i try the Gentoo's Live CD
it works fine except the trouble with my SATA Hard Drive missing?

Here is my system specs:

AMD 64 Athlon X2 5600+

1GB Ram

120 GB SATA (Maxtor)

WinFast Motherboard 761GXM2MA

... if that might help! (most those drivers are loaded on Gentoo's Live CD like sata_sis)

If you need more info about anything let me know!

I really want to try and get it to work, thanks if you can help!

You can install Gentoo from a Fedora, Ubuntu, or whatever LiveCD.

You only need a minimal working Linux system and an Internet connexion.
Just follow and understand the information you can find in the handbook.
