ATHI2011 is driving me nuts - snapman.sys missing

UPDATE - By changing the BIOS settings for the SATA from IDE to AHCI, ATIH2011 now sees the drives BUT the nightmare isn't over yet.

I have two drives id 0 and 1
ID 0 has two partitions (system reserved 100Mb no drive label assigned) and the OS (drive C)

1 got only one partition (drive D)

When I boot from the Recovery CD, Accronis labeled the 3 partitions
ID 0 Reserved as C and OS as D
ID 1 Drive E.

The backup file is on E. If I just use "recovery" Acronis tells me it doesn't find the volume file... (Looking for it on D I guess) So I used browse to select it.

But now when I want to recover it. Acronis doesn't allow me to restore the whole volume(two partitions) on drive 0. It wants to install "C" on "D"... is it safe to install my OS C drive on this newly labeled D drive? I kind of recall my early days with Acronis and a drive letter change gave me a lot trouble.

How can I get Acronis to NOT change the drive letters and restore where it is meant to be.
Reserved Partition over the Reserved Partition
"C Drive" over the second partition while keeping drive letter C (not D)

I'm going to hold the jumping off the building part. Since it seams that I have made some sort of progress.

Help still needed to recover the right partitions at the right places.

Thanks

UPDATE - It worked

Ok - I went for the restore with the drive letters as "seen" by ATIH2011 recovery disk and although mismatched

It worked... All drives fine, no weird drive renaming.

So the conclusion
On a Intel Z87 motherboard by changing the SATA mode in the BIOS from SATA to AHCI, Acronis was able to see the drives.

I guess it would be a problem if someone got them set in RAID.

So no building jumping today... Just wasted 6 hours on it.
