I recently swapped out my motherboard, ram, and chip for some newer parts.

Original:
Abit IC7-G
P4 2.8C
1GB PC3200

(1) 1TB OS drive (WD Black)
(6) 1TB storage drives (WD Black)
Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 (8 port card)
LiteOn Slim DVD Burner

New:
Asus A8N-Sli Premium
AMD X2 4200+ (939)
2GB PC3200

(1) 1TB OS drive (WD Black)
(6) 1TB storage drives (WD Black)
Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 (8 port card)
LiteOn Slim DVD Burner

For the new install I removed the SATA controller card so that only the main OS drive would be attached. I put the install disk in and selected reinstallation. I get all the way to finalizing the installation and I get this.

Installing Windows Home Server Failed: The devise is not connected (error code 0x8007048F)

Any thoughts? Is the SATA card with the other drives supposed to be attached during the installation?

Thanks for any help here, I am very stuck.

Here is the log that I was given

Well I've tried it with the other drives installed, I've tried it again after installing the chipset drivers, I've tried it again with just the SATA controller card installed, and I've tried it again with the onboard raid drivers installed (which I wasn't using before).

Nothing, still get the error.

Anybody?
 
Well, if I try to boot the system with the drives attached to the SATA card it just hangs (pre OS loading).

So... I restarted it with the drives unattached, and as soon as the it loaded back into the OS and "finalizing the installation" I re-attached the drives, it didn't give me an error this time, installed some more stuff and restarted. Of course when it restarted it again hung up when it went to scan the drives (pre OS laoding).

Well, it finally gave me the welcome screen and all appears to be well now with the exception of the hang during boot, but that sounds like a board/SATA card conflict.
