Hi,
Normally no additional SATA drivers are required, but it may help to integrate chipset and mass storage drivers.
What is the brand and model of your MB, does it have 3rd party controller that require providing drivers in your standard install ?
Make sure that you can see the new drive in bios. And if you have a spare hd test it on the same controller to find if the problem is
related to your MB or the SSD itself.
I have read that these have flawed firmware and they can disappear from system when hot swap is enabled. If hot swap is enabled in you bios try turning it off.
