Problem installing Windows to P8P67

[nitrobass24]

So i got my P8P67 this weekend and initially had several issues.
1. DIMM 1b was bad
2. I couldnt get Windows isntalled to my SSD or a regular HDD for that matter

I figured my board was just screwed, so i exchanged it; but I am right back where I left off as it relates to getting windows installed.

I have tried my SDD on all ports, SATAII, SATAIII, and Marvel. Cant install w/ AHCI.
I have tried my HDD on all ports, SATAII, SATAIII, and Marvel. Could only install on the Marvel w/ AHCI.

If I try to use the intel ports the installer fails because it cannot create a partition. A couple of times by luck it created the partition but then failed at 3-4% of Expanding Files part.

I thought it was drives so i have ran some diagnostics and they check fine. I even put the drives in Sabertooth X58 board and did a windows install and it works just fine.

Im running the Latest BIOS/EFI.
I am loading the SATA drivers during install. If i dont my drives do not even show up. Is this the case for everyone?

Any ideas?

Have you tried the installation on only one drive at a time? Mine wouldnt install with both drives hooked up at the same time.

Yea. i only tried the HDD because the SSD didnt install.

I normally only have my SSD and optical in at the same time.

I recommend testing a different set of ram on the board. If you were having memtest errors most likely your board and ram are not happy partners.
