Nothing to do with my post below.

Just bought a new WD Caviar 160gb sata

http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/components/harddiskdrives/internalide/productView.htm?quicklinx=3FP4

Not sure who's/which sata driver I should be using?

Mobo is nf7-s v2.0 but I cannot seem to find the sata driver on abit's website.
Unless they have started calling the nf7-s v2.0 'nf7-s2'

WD have a few sata driver's on their website.Not sure which if any I should use?

I have a floppy with the sata driver on that came with the mobo but am sure there's an updated version.

Above is a link to the drivers for your mobo. i'm not sure which driver you have to use for the hard disk, it could be sil3112 or sil3114 or a via driver, but seing as there is no via driver it must be one of the sil's. i made floppy disk up with all types on it when i was installing my WD sata hard disk and the one that worked was via. but my mobo (KV8-MAX3) has a via chipset this might be the difference. hope this helps.
