Hi, it's a bit hard to tell from the info you gave.
What disk are you trying to boot from? cd? hd?
A live disk could be helpful in this situation, if the One dvd sees (finds) the sata disk then the kernel of an install should too.
I had a similar problem last year, and I had to type in the boot line
pci=nomsi
[nomsi. If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is enabled, this kernel
boot option can be used to disable the use of MSI interrupts
system-wide.]
you can find a doc on kernel commands,

to get the cd to find my sata disk. I didn't have to do it again, it just works now even after a few clean re-installs.
There are other options you can pass to the kernel on boot, that includes the dvd or cdrom images too.
see how you go,
