    It doesn't need drivers to be seen by the motherboard. Are you saying your motherboard doesn't recognize the drive? SATA 2 controllers are backwards compatible and will definitely be able to "see" SATA 1 drives.

    Does the drive at least show on the post screen on in the BIOS?

    What exactly are you trying to do? I hae the same exact board with both types of SATA drives running.

    I know this sounds dumb but have you checked the cable and made sure the port it is conneced to is enabled in the BIOS? You have looked in the BIOS and it isn't there???? Primesuspect is correct in that it is not drivers and your drive is backwards compatabile.
