I even booted from the Mobo utility disc and it wouldn't actually get to any sort of main menu because "IDE drive does not exist or all primary petitions are occupied!"
Tried booting from Ubuntu on USB AND CD and it kept hanging after looking for SATA drives, even when none are plugged in.
Tried installing Windows off the disc. It took ten minutes to get from the blue wallpaper to "Install Windows" and then just hung on the spinning ring for a while without anything happening.
Now, I have yet to see where the SATA controller options are in the BIOS. I've seen the IDE, but am not sure whether or not I should just disable it all. Also was curious about the AHCI options you mentioned, stormy. There were 2 options set from Auto to AHCI (one of them was "GSATA") and was wondering if there were any other options I should change for the SSD. Also, for 64-bit.
This is my first build ever and the BIOS is a bit overwhelming for me. Hahah.
Thanks for all of the help already, guys.
