Sata 2/Sata II drive disappears after formatting

I installed a Maxtor Diamond Max10 160GB Sata 2 drive to my system. My other
drives are a PATA 120GB HD and PATA Sony DVDRW

MB ASRock 939 dual VSTA
AMD 64 3000+
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9650 AGP
Terratec DMX6 Fire 24/96
Winfast 2000 PCI
Vista RC1

After i formatted the drive it just vanished from exploere AND the drvice
manager. I installed the drive as a secondary drive and set it up int the
bios as SATA Mode (IDE Mode does the same thing).

If I disable the sata driver and then re-enable it, the driver reapears, but
only briefly.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
