Download the Raid Floppy utility from here

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...4&submit=Go%21

(AHCI/RAID Drivers are in the same package.). Its the second one in the list.
Download it then extract with winrar. Double click to let it format and configure the driver on the floppy.

Make sure your sata cables are plugged into the Intel ports and not the gigabyte ones.

Go into BIOS to "integrated peripherals" and set to AHCI (on the first line)

Save and exit

Whack in the disc and when you get to the "load driver" part put in the floppy and press enter.
