You need to download the driver package for the motherboard. This can allow Windows to access the SATA drives and allow to pass the error message window. Another option is to change BIOS boot order.
Change BIOS boot order The most successful fix for this issue is to set the optical (DVD) drive as the first boot device in the BIOS. If you are working with VMware server and do not have a DVD in your server, this can become a bigger problem. Update ITE ATA driver and Switch from SATA to AHCI will solve the problem.
