If it says they are unknown, then they
are showing up, just that Windows doesn't recognize them (this is normal for Linux partitions). This means that the CD is seeing the SATA drive, so no driver is needed. If you did need one, the message would be that no hard drives were detected.
You will have to first delete the unknown partition(s), which will then show up as unpartitioned space. Select the unpartitioned space, then press
Enter to setup Windows on the selected item. If you need to partition the drive, you can do that as well by pressing
C then specify the size of the partition.
And sure sounds like you may have bumped the video card. Sometimes have to completely remove and re-insert them -- just pushing them back in doesn't always work.
