You have to paste into an image editing software like MS paint.

just as i thought,

Disk 1 & Disk 2 is not displayed in your windows.
I'm not so familair with SATA using drivers.

Its either you did not install the SATA drivers.
or you did not enabled them in the BIOS

Check if your device manager has '!' exclamation mark on any devices. I suspect there's no SATA driver installed as A8V requires separate drivers for XP, not sure about Vista.

I get the message:
SATA 378 tx2PLUS BIOS 1.00.0.03 is not installed

I have ! on a few different hardware devices:
Marvell Yukon
A bus host controller
RAID Controller

each of these devices have ! by them.

Marvell Yukon Vista x86 -> http://www.marvell.com/drivers/drive...dId=101&pId=39
VIA 8237 RAID Vista x86 -> http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx...SubCatI D=143
IEEE 1394 -> I'd recommend to disable it via BIOS if you
have no use for it.

For Promise SATA:

If you get this msg while booting it looks like there's no
HD found by the controller itself (has nothing to do with
Vista or its drivers in the first place).
So it is somehow not configured properly or the drives
are not connected the right way.
Check the options set in the BIOS ...

[Advanced]
[Onboard Device Configuration]
OnChip SATA BootROM -> [Disabled]
OnBoard Promise Controller -> [Enabled]
Operating Mode [IDE Operation]

First you have to make sure the controller itself is able
to find the disks, then we'll see what to do with Vista. ^^

PS: Check if you did connect the disks to the VIA SATA
and not the Promise SATA.

Btw. ... got this board some time ago myself and it's
a good one in overall, but its SATA-functionality is
somehow bad.
