Enabling SATA controller

Hi,

I want to add a windows server 2003 virtual machine using a virtual SATA HDD.

So what i've done is :
1. Creating the virtual HDD
2. Check ENABLE SATA Controller in 'Hard disks' TAB
3. Choose sata port 0 as a slot and the recently created virtual HD

When I started the virtual machine, the installation process begins as usual and when I was prompted to press Enter to begin effective installation the system indicates that no HDD was detected. Normal because by enabling SATA controller We usually need a third party drivers. Correct me if i'm wrong

So please how can I deal with this situation and complete the installation process.

Thank you

It's in the Windows Guests forum. It describes how to get SATA working before or even after installation of the Guest.
