Did you install any drivers that were provided with the card? Does device manager show any issues with the loaded drivers. (If you did install them) Also, please be more specific when naming a topic in the forums here. A title such as "Windows 2k Serial ATA Issues" would probably be more useful. :)

I agree that it's a driver issue. A CD came with the card. Until you install the drivers, Win 2k will have no idea what to do with it.

Hi Michael,

Right-click on My Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management, and from there you should be able to format them.
