My first build finished but...

I'm not sure what option to select.

I've inserted the drivers disk that came with the mobo and it's asking to Select source:
1. Generate the RAID/AHCI driver diskette for Intel Z68 Chipset
2. Generate the AHCI driver diskette for Marvell SATA 3.0
3. Exit

Does it even matter? I'm guessing they both need generating?

Ok cool, so do I just boot using Windows 7?

PC built, nothing on HDD, it's working but not sure about access to BIOS.

Asus splash screen comes up for about a tenth of a second then I get: "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

Is there not a sticky or thread for ultimate noobs like me??

Yeah I've got an SSD but unsure how to get to BIOS just keeps say reboot and select proper boot device?

Ha yes got it thanks, it flashes up so quick!

I've changed the SATA mode to AHCI from IDE

I'll try the video thanks!

It's an intel build on an Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 mobo. Not certain if it's Marvell or Intel, very new to all this stuff, sorry! How would I find out?

Its in the manual, it the top pair that should be avoided called "M_SATA"

I'm learning, yep it was in top one SATA M1 - M2. Changed that now, thanks!
