Question Installation problem in SATA drive


Hi there,
i had trouble in installing Linux in my machine. I have 80Gb SATA hard disk, Intel D101GGC mother board. While installing i get an error message saying "No hard drive Found". I tried to select some driver from the list. But no luck. Same is the case with redhat, Centos, Fedora distros. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
P.Shunmuga prasath.
