actually, jinnkai and others have been on the right track, for the norm, most boards can boot from any sata or pata device, and the most likely cause of the issue would be driver related, boot sector related, or boot loader related. however, as msi confirmed, your board is a gimp, and just can't boot from a sata drive. not all mother boards will give you a nice clean message saying can't find an os to boot from, they can also just have a little blinking cursor, or worse give you a disk read error, which is even more confusing.
