Built a new PC with Asrock Ab350M motherboard, R5 1500x, and a GTX 1050Ti. I tried installing Windows 10 from a bootable Drive, but when it asked me to install, it said the Drive Controller needed to be enabled from the BIOS. I went to my Storage Settings in the Bios and selected the Sata_3 option which is for the Hard Drive, and everything was enabled, but it still says the same thing in the Windows 10 install and won't install it onto the Hard Drive. Does anybody know what the issue may be?

I suspect you are asked to Enable AHCI Mode (for SATA) in BIOS .Here are generic steps:


Power on the system.

enter the BIOS Setup menu.

In the BIOS Utility dialog, select Advanced -> IDE Configuration.

The IDE Configuration menu is displayed.

In the IDE Configuration menu, select Configure SATA and press Enter.

A menu is displayed listing the SATA options.

In the SATA Options menu, select AHCI for a system using SATA disks .

Save and exit

My Bios Advanced tab doesn't have IDE Configuration as an option

I left that alone. This is the 4th PC I built and the first time I encountered this issue. I switched from AHCI to RAID just to see if it made a difference, but it gave me options upon boot that i didn't understand
