Please try to choose an informative subject for your message.

The problem is exactly that: The disk controller is not detected (a 
suitable driver cannot be found)
Try changing some BIOS settings: New motherboards often have an "AHCI 
mode" for the disks. Try setting this to some other setting (like 
standard, compatible...)
It would help if you could tell us the exact name and model of the 
motherboard, someone on the list may have had some success with it and 
could share his settings.
