figured it out last night. Ok to clarify steps and processes. 1. you need to enable UEFI and Disable legacy. 2. Enable windows Fast boot 3. Disable secure boot 4. either you need to follow the steps within this link to create a UEFI usb boot or you need an actual UEFI formatted DVD. from here if you are running your SATA in ACHI you should be good to install after this. IF YOU ARE RUNNING SATA IN RAID MODE YOU WILL NEED TO PRELOAD THE LATEST RAID DRIVERS FROM INTEL ONTO A USB. My problem with not seeing any drives was due to running SATA in RAID mode. once I supplied drivers to the windows setup it was able to see my drives. Once you have completed your Win8 install return to the bios and enable Secure boot. Fast boot will auto enable within win8 my shutdown and startup times are now 5- 8 seconds(from button press to start menu icons).

I'm trying to perform a fresh UEFI install from media and my system is not showing any boot able media. I've got windows 8 install burned onto a DVD from an iso created by the windows 8 store app. I've also got the boot-able win8 usb stick (have tried with NTFS and Fat32) I've set the bios to UFEI I've tried toggleing Legacy support: Enable/Disable Secure Boot: Enable/Disable Windows 8 fast boot:Enable/Disable Add boot:First/Last/Auto Nothing seems to work anyone like to shed some light on this new A09 BIOS and UEFI options?
