Your board has a SB600 chipset which is supported and you shouldn't have problems with it, i have the same southbridge controller and it works just great. I am not sure if 10.5.1 can recognize sata hdd if you don't set transfer type to sata-ahci in BIOS, so dont trust me on that really cant remember, but i am sure 10.5.2 rev.2 will recognize your hdd no matter if its set to native ide or sata->ahci in bios. You would have to include sb600 driver in installation so it can be installed into your system so you can boot later to it if you were previously in native ide mode.

So for 10.5.1, try to set your BIOS (its somewhere in integrated peripherals, Ide controllers..) to SATA->AHCI mode. Boot like that with dvd and the installer has to see your hdd and you can install to it.
