Have you checked on your BIOS settings --> SATA mode -->

Configure it either

1. Disabled,
2. Native,
3. AHCI

On newer PCs installed with lower versions of Linux either use Disabled or Native..
On newer PCs installed with newer versions of Linux, most likely use AHCI..

Just give every setting a try. We recently bought white boxes (on quad core), and noticed that the installation takes too long to complete, then changing the SATA mode to AHCI made a performance boost.

Well my experience could be different, but you may explore that possibility.
