I had that error and it turned out I needed to ENABLE the SATA controller... I had turned it off as I just had a single IDE drive on the system at the time.

I don't know diddly about SLI but you shouldn't have had to disable ACPI in the BIOS to get the board working. Something is definitely not right there. Any SATA drives or all PATA??

you need to install OS with native IDE enable.

after OS installation install the CD sata drivers. after that go to bios and set ACPI.

it should work.
