    you need the drivers for your SATA drive on a floppy, and when you hit f6 you need to install the drivers first and then continue with the installation.

    insert the SATA driver (diskett) into ur floppy then press the F6 key.

    the driver will be provided when u buy the motherboard.

    Loose connection. Open the cabinet and plug in the wires more tightly.

    First, you need the drivers for the hard drive on a floppy disk. Then when the computer prompts you to press F6, press F6. It will continue its loading of files, but then after a while, it will prompt you to insert your driver disk and press enter. From here it will ask you to select the driver from a list of drivers found on the disk. It will load the selected driver and prompt you for any more drivers. If you cannot find the disk that comes with the drive, you can find the drivers off the manufacturer’s website and place them on a disk. It should work if you follow these steps.

    Make sure RAID is enabled in the BIOS.
