So i bought new SSD drive, tried to install windows on it but no go.
Error message that i get is " windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computers hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
Searched couple of sites and changed BIOS settings to ASCI from sata
Tried to format and delete partition, also removed my old HDD and tried to install it that way.
SSD is Kingston A400 and my motherboard is Asus M5A78M-M LX3
Any suggestions?

What is your old hdd? I just tried out an inland 120GB SSD that I had to clone my seagate HDD to with seagate discwizard. most manufacturers have some software on their websites. This should work for a SATA SSD, PCI Express might not be able to boot on some systems.
