Default Hard drive recognized as SCSI

I am helping my brother in law out trying to do a non destructive repair using the installation disc. When we went through all the steps and got to the section that shows the hard drives it does not recognize the hard drive and won't let us do a repair. If we wanted to do a clean install it still would not recognize the hdd.
I decided to check bios and see what was recognized and in the hdd section it showed that the hdd was a SCSI. It is not a SCSI drive. We checked PC Wizard 2008 and it showed SCSI. All the places show that it is a SCSI. What is causing this? It is not a SCSI drive but a SATA drive. Can anyone tell me what has happened?

Default Re: Hard drive recognized as SCSI

That will happen when the SATA controller is a 3rd party controller (not part of the mainboard chipset) press F5 (or is it F6?) when installing Windows to load drivers for it.
