Hi folks.

I have two blank drives in my ASRock H97M Pro4, one is a SSD, the other a 250GB SATA drive. Both formatted as exFAT. The UEFI sees them (AdvancedStorage Configuation), and everything is set to Legacy, but the CentOS7 installer isn't seeing any drives at all.

SATA_0: WDC WD2500KS-OOMJBO
SATA_5: ADATA SP600 <-- target destination

I've refreshed twice, still nothing.

What am I doing wrong?
Is it best to go with Legacy? Major benefits to UEFI?
SATA Mode Selection: IDE (this is CentOS7)

Cheers
