Make sure you check the bios and see that both drives are set to ACHI mode. This allows for full use of the drives. I know I had a problem with this, but it might not be yours.

check to see if theres an update for your bios, you may need sata/raid drivers if it only doesnt work with SATA drives.

maybe the sata module is on raid mode instead of native ?
if so try to change it to non raid configuration.

Raid is dissablet in the BIOS.
Are you using the same PSU? I had a problem where Home and Pro both blue screened with different errors, I tried different motherboards, opticals, memory, changed PSU as last resort and it solved it.
