If you want to boot up from this card...the controller card has to have its own boot BIOS to be able to boot directly from it. Some do, but some don't. Yours sounds like it don't.
However, if you are booting up from your old IDE hard drive, and you just want to access SATA hard drives while in Windows (i.e. you're not wanting to boot from a SATA hard drive), then just install the CD that came with your SATA card, and that will allow Windows to recognize hard drives connected to your SATA card.
