You need to insert the sata driver disk at the beginning of the windows install process by pressing F6 for 3rd party scsi or raid driver!!!!

This is a very common problem and nice and easy to fix!!!!

where can i get a sata driver disk? im new to this still in school learning as i go!

It should be on either a floppy or a cd that should have been supplied with the pc!!

If you don't have either of those then a visit to the dell website is your best option!!!!
