The problem is exactly that: The disk controller is not detected (a suitable driver cannot be found) Try changing some BIOS settings: New motherboards often have an "AHCI mode" for the disks. Try setting this to some other setting (like standard, compatible...) It would help if you could tell us the exact name and model of the motherboard, someone on the list may have had some success with it and could share his settings.
