You need to check your motherboard, and download some kernel sources with a
suitable driver. `lspci` might give you some clues. Compile yourself a new
kernel, including the drivers for the SATA card; note they must be compiled
right into the kernel {not as modules}. Install new kernel and regenerate
your bootloader.
Reboot into new kernel and make sure your SATA drive is recognised. You can
then migrate your system over and remove the IDE drive.
