    Looks like you need to configure some options in BIOS. First off, to make things easier, make sure the drives are installed in SATA ports 0 and 1. Now, get into your BIOS. At the main menu, select "Integrated Peripherals". Set the "On-Chip Primary PCI IDE" to Enabled. Set the "On-Chip SATA Mode" to Auto. Save and exit.

    If the problem isn't resolved, try and set the "On-Chip SATA Mode" to Combined.
