(isn't helping beginners fun!!)

BIOS "Onboard Devices" settings go back to the post and check it out.

I think the advice is getting ahead of the problem. The BIOS has to recognize the drive before you can even worry about the F6 in windows install. I wish I knew more about this board so I could help, hope someone who does know comes by soon.

The beginning of this post speaks of the correct BIOS settings he needs to recognize the drive. He just has not done this yet obviously. This board can be very confusing, but with some patience and some "reading" it is very straight forward.

okay, the settings are as they should be according to your post, but when it trys to "detect" it says bios no loaded. this is where i got lost.
