what MB do you have. We had trouble doing a SATA install last night, till like 3:00 and got it to work. if you have more than ne SATA controller try moving it another controler. thats what we did and it worked fine. also we didnt need any extra drivers for it to install (the F6 thing) we just skipped that part.
