Missing SATA Drives

I have successfully installed Windows Vista Beta 2 on my primary ide drive, but I cannot see my SATA drives under windows. Disk Management shows them as missing, and I can't reactivate them.
I presume the problem lies with the sata controller, but I can't seem to find the appropriate driver for it. My Mobo is an ASUS A7N8X deluxe with onboard SATA. It uses the NForce2 chipset. I have tried different combinations of drivers from ASUS, Nvidia but to no avail.
Can anyone help?

I will suggest double checking your bios to assure that the sata function is enabled. Check the device manager to assaure the sata contoller driver is installed . Nvidia has released some Vista beta drivers for NForce chipsets. Check their site for these drivers. -- Thank You
