You need SATA drivers as provided by the people who made your motherboard

At the start of the installation it will ask you to press F6 to load SATA/RAID drivers. Do so, then when prompted insert the disk and choose the driver to load.

you should of got the sata drivers with your mobo you have to put them onto a floppy and when you go to install windows it will ask you to push f6 if you have third party drivers so push f6 later on it will as you to put the floppy in and it will do the rest
