HDD does not come with drivers.
The drivers that you need are the one from Silicon Image, just read the manual that comes with your motherboard on the Silicon Image section before doing anything.

Seagate SATA Mass storage driver installation
Or follow these instructions.
These are for intel SATA Drivers. But you need to follow the same steps as SILICON Image drivers.
When you start the installation of Windows* XP, you most likely will be
presented with a message stating, 'Setup could not determine the type of one or
more mass storage devices installed in your system'. If this occurs, the
instructions below document how to install the RAID driver. To install the Intel
Application Accelerator RAID Edition driver using the F6 installation method,
complete the following steps:
Note: After completing
these steps and the operating system has been successfully installed, you will
still need to install the Intel Application Accelerator RAID Edition by running
the typical Setup.exe process.
- Press F6 when prompted in the status line with the 'Press F6 if you need to
install a third party SCSI or RAID driver' message at the beginning of Windows
XP setup (during text-mode phase). Note: After pressing F6, setup will
temporarily continue loading drivers and then you will be prompted with a screen
to load support for mass storage device(s).
- Press F6 when prompted in the status line with the 'Press F6 if you need to
install a third party SCSI or RAID driver' message at the beginning of Windows
XP setup (during text-mode phase).
Note: After pressing
F6, setup will temporarily continue loading drivers and then you will be
prompted with a screen to load support for mass storage device(s).
- Press the 'S' key to 'Specify Additional Device'
- You will be prompted to 'Please insert the disk labeled
Manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk into Drive A:' Once prompted, insert
the floppy disk containing the following four files: IASTOR.INF, IASTOR.SYS,
IASTOR.CAT, and TXTSETUP.OEM and press ENTER.
- After pressing ENTER, you should be presented with a list of available SCSI
Adapters; it should list 'Intel® 82801ER Serial RAID Controller'. Select this
entry and press ENTER.
- The next screen should confirm that you have selected the 'Intel® 82801ER
Serial ATA RAID Controller'. Press ENTER again to continue.
- At this point, you have successfully F6'ed in the Intel Application
Accelerator RAID Edition driver and Windows XP setup should continue. Leave the
floppy disk in the floppy drive until the system reboots itself. Windows* setup
will need to copy the files from the floppy again to the Windows installation
folders. Once Windows setup has copied these four files again, you should then
remove the floppy diskette so that Windows setup can reboot as needed.
- During Windows setup, create a partition and file system on the RAID 0
volume as you would any physical disk, Notice that the size of the RAID 0 volume
is the combined capacity of the two Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives if they are of
the same capacity. If they differ in capacity, your RAID 0 volume will be twice
the size of the smaller of the two SATA disk drives.
