windows cannot be installed to this disk.the computer hardware may not support booting to this disk.ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computer bios menu ?

that comes up when click show details
 
ok will try now i have a asus z68 extreame 4 gen 3 and i plugged hdd into the sata3 sockets there is 4 of them should it matter which one ? or is there a certain one
 
should i still use the sata 3 ports i had it plugged into sata 3 number 0 the grey on and i had my dvd drive in sata 3 port M1 were exactly do i plug them ?
