Don't know about FC3, but the first Fedora release you needed to format your SATA drive first before Fedora would recognize it. Since I was, and still am, running a dual boot Linux/Win2k machine, it was no problem to format it using Windows back then, which the gentleman you are replying to apparently has done, as he appears to be replacing or trying to replace WinXP with Linux. You may need to use something else to format it if you don't have access to a Win box to do it with. There are a variety of tools out there to do that. How many are free I don't know.

A couple of months ago I built a system using a ASUS P5GD2 Deluxe motherboard that had two different SATA chipsets. The Silicon 3114R chipset worked just fine, I was able to install FC3 to brand new harddrives on that controller no problems.
The other chipset did not appear to see the SATA drives. I think that problem may have been a bios setting for doing a fast scan on that bus. I have since disabled that but have not tried attaching any drives to that controller again.
I did get a recommendation to not use SATA DVD drives. Apparently at that time there were some possible issues with the system seeing them correctly and being able to boot from them.
So the main thing to check IMHO is the particular SATA chip set that your board has. If it is supported in the kernel you should be OK at this time.
I've had no problems with the VIA 8237 chipset and SATA Hard Drives with Fedora Core 2 or 3. This was on DFI motherboards.
