On some computers, ironically, disabling "Native SATA Support" will fix this issue. Otherwise, see below.
- Enter your BIOS/Setup Utility
- Locate the Serial ATA or SATA configuration section
- Change the mode of the SATA controller from AHCI to IDE or Compatibility
- Save & Exit
- Reboot and begin the Windows Setup again.
- If Windows Setup successfully detects your hard disk this time then go ahead and perform the Windows Setup.
- When Windows setup completes change the mode back to AHCI in the BIOS
