I'm running a Crucial MX100 256 GB SSD on my ASUS M4N68T-M V2 µATX Motherboard. Does it show up in the BIOS correctly? What SATA Port is it connected to? Some motherboards have a RAID function and a special controller just for it. If connected to that SATA controller it could be a driver issue. Did you try doing the custom install option? That option may let you partition and format the drive. You shouldn't have to but it couldn't hurt to try it.
