I have SATA in both my desktop and laptop (not in the specs) and FC4 
installed on both with no problems.  Heck FC1 installed on my desktop 
with the addition of a driver.  FC4 on the desktop recognized both my 
controllers and all 4 drives.

The drive isn't the issue, the controller and bios is.

What is your controller chip?
