ASUS DEMONSTRATION SHOWS VIRTUALLY THE SAME BUILD (same hdd/sdd and mobo anyway....LOOKED EASY...suggests clean install to mechanical not SSD so you can use ASUS software once WIN 7 installed to merge them with the "Marvell 9128 6GB port"...Regarding BIOS funnily enough I have seen images of the UEFI BIOS in forums with all 8 ports on the deluxe in SATA configuration in advanced settings however mine only shows six (and no duplicate for UEFI like other images of UEFI i've seen"?!?!? and I have updated the UEFI BIOS to the latest version....anyone else had same issue with that A2 error?!?!?

anonymous1: I deleted the partition successfully and installed windows on the mechanical successfully. But only had success in the 6gb/s standard slots not the Marvell 6gb/s which Is what I need according to ASUS to activate the SSD caching feature so the SSD can work in conjunction with the WD 2TB and enable faster processing speeds. what do?
Danny2000: The ESC did cause to boot from DISK. That is how I got it installed on the standard 6gb/s slots.
Thank you both for your replies....Could it be a faulty MOBO?
