I would guess that Windows 7 supports the controller but doesn't have it installed. This is a common problem when switching hard disk controllers.

It was a driver issue. The Intel RAID was also giving me a hard time installing AFTER the OS was already installed in IDE mode. A fresh install fixed it (fortunately i was in a position to do this). Note to others, enable RAID BEFORE installing the OS. Life will be easier.

Glad you got it worked out:) @Jason Yeah, I should have been clearer. I meant that the drivers may not be installed, rather than that they don't exist.
