Discussion on BIOS does not recognize my SATA drive | TechRepublic

You didn't mention which OS you were trying to install, but most of them say to press F6 if you have SCSI drivers to install and you should have the SATa drivers on a floppy ready to install if that option comes up.
Another trick with a Dell is to clear corrupted NVRAM. In newer Dells and possibly you enter Setup, turn on all three LEDs CAP Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock and the click on and "E" at the same time. You should hear a beep. Dell Document 146421.

If your computer is different or you don't hear the beep you can clear the CMOS by following you specific Instructions on the motherboard.
