Help pls. I have just set up a ds3 that wont allow me to do an install of the operating system. I have placed a brand new unformatted a fdisked sata 2 hard drive into the macine that will not allow a windows install. I can access the bios on the ds3p and am running in native/legacy ide mode. After exiting the bios I get a quick screen of the devices which the bios has detected and then it just hangs. I am obviously doing something wrong and so I hope you guys could help me out. Thank you.
ds3p boot and install issues

Well I have ported them over from the purple (gigabyte) slots but it did not like the AHCI. The drives are showing up in windows though

I assume I have done that unless I am mistaken?
Under device manager in IDE ATA/ ATAPI CONTROLLERS it shows
Intel (R)ICH8 2 port serial controller and
Intel (R) ICH8 4 port serial controller
When I tried to change the main SATA controller to AHCI windows just kept on rebooting?
