it looks like that you have a SATA drive, and window doesn't recognize some of sata controllers, you need to install sata drivers befor installing windows. while the drivers initialization, you are offered to press F6 and install SCSI of SATA drivers. you just press F6 insert floppy disk(it must be delivered with your motherboard) with drivers and install them
