Hello everyone, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is the correct place. I went about installing Windows 7, it didn't work so I tried 8/8.1. All the same error:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
I'm running an ASUS Maximus Hero VII, it has the UEFI BIOS and I cannot find any disk's controller or place to change my SATA ports to AHCI. I have double checked and it shows that all SATA connectors should be plugged into the Intel connections, which they are according to the manual. I'm not sure what to do here, or if my error lies elsewhere.
On a side note, for formatting the drive should I just partition the entire drive and format as NTFS? It should be noted that I'm currently using Ubuntu as it's the only OS I've gotten to work so far. So as for drivers/BIOS updates I don't know what to do since this is my first time using Ubuntu.
