Hello Brett

I had this problem last week when I added a second SATA to my Asus
A8N-VM. 

I had to make a change in the bios setup. In my setup I had an
expandable menu named "IDE Configuration". In that menu I enabled
"nVidia Raid Function" and that expanded to allow me to enable both
SATA devices.
