try configuring RAID
1, In the BIOS Setup utility dialog, select Advanced --> IDE Configuration.
The IDE Configuration menu appears.
2,. In the IDE Configuration menu, select Configure SATA AS, then press Enter.
A menu appears listing the SATA options: IDE, RAID, and AHCI. AHCI is set by default.
3, In the SATA Options menu, select RAID, then press Enter.
4, Press F10 to save your changes, exit the BIOS utility.
then try and install again

Yep just got up and as Thomas has said you needed to go through the BIOS headings as you have done and the DVD is still set to EFI [auto] and I think you said you had set the BIOS to ACHI?? Am no expert but if you are booting from the DVD I am not sure if this would not cause a bit of a mix up - I stand to be corrected of course.
Not being sarcy but you could have had a look at a Google on a friends machine for that modelThank you for taking a interest. However how can I use the program to find my system specs when i don't have windows installed?

Hey rayban mate we need some answers reasonably soon now an option for delving into that drive is this if you like either by leaving it hooked up SATA or use a USB / SATA adaptor to another machine see pic.
BOOTABLE UBUNTU
Make a bootable Ubuntu disk http://www.ubuntu.com/download
Set the BIOS to boot from the optical when themachine boots it will show you a screen with TRY or INSTALL >select TRY not INSTALL
When it is finished - it takes very little time youwill get a screen like in the pic .
Open the drive you want > User and dig downuntil you get to the data / settings you may be able to copy / paste thematerial you want to an external source or other installed drive doing this.
I am not sure if it will but I have recovered tonsof data etc using this method both on "dead" or just plain drivesthat you cannot get data from using Windows.
As you can see the net is still available and as well as getting the data off you can set it to test with one of the drive testers ie Seatools SeaTools for Windows | Seagate this one I know is for Windows and I have never tried it via the Ubuntu boot but I do think there is a DOS version that will.
