Possible solution

I will assume that your image is not broken and that your hardware is fine.

This may be a SATA issue. To test if this is the case set the bios to use "Native SATA Support" mode if it has one. If that works you will need to fix the issue by getting the proper drivers and adding them to your existing image.

Please test this and let me know the results.
