AS ROCK H81M-HDS
Kingston 64G SSD
Win 8.1 (new in box retail version)
First, the bios in this OS seems very nice! It recognizes the SSD as a drive but when I install windows from DVD or USB it says "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's bios menu"
Now, I'm trying to install as SATA=AHCI not IDE. I'm quite certain I could install via the SATA=IDE route, but I wanted to setup my first AHCI machine. I can see the partitions, delete, format etc. I can even point the browser to the DVD that came with the motherboard and install the SATA drivers but once I arrive back at the install screen, this same error.

Thanks in advance for the help
