    you need to re-instal the OS from your recovery DVD... or someone else's... 'cos as my experience, you cant instal sata driver from windows...

    So if you are stuck without any option, then reinstall the OS again.
    I have wiped out Home premium and installed Ultimate from scratch. Then installed all the required drivers from Acer Driver DVD which i created earlier. Everything works cool !! Now its Vista SP1.

    Try to backup your activation and fresh reinstall the OS.
