Inspiron 1501 Sata Problem

I'm having problems with Zenworks and the Inspiron 1501. I'm using
Zenworks 7.1 and have the 2.6.5 Kernel in the Zenworks Linux distro.
The Inspiron 1501 uses an AMD processor.

The problem is: the SATA hard drive is not being recognized.

We also have an Inspiron 6400, which has an Intel processor. (They are
both try-and-buys.) The 6400 works as it should, but of course it is
$200 more.

So we are motivated to getting the 1501 to work since we are looking
for our new standard laptop.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan
