Please help, Disk Boot Failure with SATA

[Operaghost]

Ok so I installed my new Intel X-25m 80GB.
Installed win7 on it.
Proceeded to screw up by installing intel chipset drivers.
Rebooted, and couldn't boot to the SSD, nor to my SATA DVD drive.
I reset CMOS.
Was able to boot to the Win7 CD to try and reinstall.
Got to location for install selection and got a message that windows could not install to that drive and to check on BIOS settings.

So I go in and try changing the SATA back to IDE from AHCI, and again am getting boot failures.

I know its just some BIOS setting I'm missing but I can't figure out which cause I don't know what all that shit actually does.

My rig is in my sig. EVGA X58 mobo.

I'll list my BIOS options in a reply shortly.

Please help as I'm totally stuck on ideas at the moment.

Under Onboard PATA/SATA Device:
SATA Mode - AHCI or IDE

JMB362 SATA Controller - Enabled or Disabled
JMB363 SATA/PATA Controller - Enabled or Disabled
JMB363 Mode - AHCI, Raid, IDE, AHCI & IDE, AHCI & something else
JMB363 Mode - AHCI or IDE

Then there is a submenu labelled AHCI Configurations:
Stagger Spinup Support - Disabled or Enabled
Mechanical Pesence Switch = Disabled or Enabled
Hotplug capable port - Enabled or Disabled
Cold Presence Detection - Disabled or Enabled

With these settings, I'm able to boot the Win7 dvd, but then again when I choose the drive/partition it tells me Windows cannot be installed there as stated previously.

Anyone have any suggestions please? I'm blown, because I had it installed and working, until I screwed up and installed new Intel chipset drivers.....
