Windows doesn't handle the SATA controller very well. You need a floppy with SATA controller drivers for your board and press F6 during the text-phase of windows setup.

| there might be another problem if your bios does not recognize your hdd. at least the bios should recognize it. installing an operating system like windows requires additional drivers like edwin already stated.
