Man. This is something I could resolve if it were in front of me. It's difficult when I can't fly through the BIOS.
RAID off? Make sure it's not thinking it should be making a RAID 0 or 1 array. SATA ports set to IDE or NCQ or whatever they call native SATA now? Make them all IDE for now, but you can go NCQ later (requires F6 for win install). Did you make sure all ports were enabled, including onboard PCI?
I can't think of any other reasons at the moment.
