My first boot went ok. I am now trying to boot up WD Data lifeguard CD per instructions...however shows error 0120 hard drive not detected. And sometimes after boot only "Loading operating system appears". After this sometimes it looks like it's trying to load DOS (on CD) and run the utilities.
But only a blank screen appears.

Hard drives are getting power and recognized with CMOS (without AHCI....)

Ok I got it to work by changing CMOS settings to IDE instead of AHCI. Why would this happen and how would I be able to make it work with AHCI ??
Chipset drivers??
