In the manual section "Onboard Devices Configuration", there
is:

Onboard SATA [Enabled] options=enable or disable
Onboard SATA BootROM [Enabled] options=enable or disable
Onboard SATA-IDE [RAID] options=RAID or SATA

Maybe if SATA is disabled, the other two disappear ?

Try MYOB's suggestion first, and see if Windows sees the drive
in SATA mode well enough to do the install without F6.

If it still doesn't work, you can always try RAID mode and
F6 install a RAID driver to get some kind of JBOD working.
