Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows installer?

Try setting your bios to IDE to install Windows, then load the motherboard drivers and the Sata drivers. Go into bios and set to AHCI

Did you get the 64-bit drivers from these locations?
You'll need to load them during the install at the screen where you select the drive to install Windows.

Chipset:

AHCI:

RAID (if you're using RAID):

Are you booting the install media from UEFI or standard. I have had issues where windows didn't see the drives on install and usually running the media in UEFI fixed that problem.

Before changing to AHCI in bios you would need to make changes in the registry to be able to boot once AHCI is enabled in bios. There are lots of tutorials available online for this registry hack. It's easy.

elec999, glad you got the issue figured out. Was it a new or used drive that turned out to be bad?
