No I dont. If it's there it goes by so fast I don't see it. I can't install the drivers because windows does not see it.

MSI Big Bang-XPower LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com

is that your board? looks pretty decent.. try swapping PCI slots as well.

in the boot-up it should show a shot sequence of detecting drives. Also - can you send a link to the exact SAS-to-SATA breakout cables you purchased? there is a forward and reverse pattern.
