If you have another drive, plug it into the SATA card and see if you can see it while booting from the onboard SATA port.
Double check your BIOS. Just because the you see it, dosn't mean the motherboard will use it. Some motherboards have to be configured to boot from a add-in card. It can be confusing because they often refer to SCSI card settings.
I sadly have a floppy drive I keep in my basement just to handle this problem. If I need to do an XP install; I plug it in, load XP and take it back out.
