New computer problems

[imaginaryche]

I recently bought the part to build my first computer. First I got stuck with a dead power supply so I had to send it in for a new one. Now I have it powered and got to the Windows Home Premium installation, but it wont get passed 34% It give me the 0x80070570 error message and another message that says "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's Hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu." I do not have bios installed yet to use it and I have no idea what to do. Please help.

If needed, the specs are:

-CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Power supply

-Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

BIOS is built into your motherboard, you don't have to install it.

To access the BIOS you have to press a button as the machine first starts up. Normally on MSI motherboards it will be delete, but could also be ESC or F2. It should tell you on the screen but to be sure I would just repeatedly tap all 3 as it starts up. Sometimes you have to be really quick so it might take a couple of reboots.

Once in the BIOS, you need to look for the 'SATA Controller' setting. Make sure this is set to ACHI and not IDE, RAID or anything else. Save changes and restart. Hopefully Windows should now install

I tried this. However now there says there is no boot-able device the windows CD is in. Any other suggestions?

You could try tapping F8 as the machine starts to open up a boot selection menu. From there select the dvd drive.

When you changed the Sata Controller setting, was there a setting for each sata port? If you changed the CD/DVD port to ACHI it might not work until you change it back. I should have mentioned to only change the hard drive one sorry.

There was only one device I was able to change under the Integrated peripherals. I believe that was the Hard drive and for some reason it wont recognize another one. It is plugged in though I saw the 2 tb model in the windows installation.
