So, your answers is not correct.

Windows 7 installer freezes with the hard disk and optical drive hooked up to the Southbridge-powered SATA ports. Workaround: install Windows 7 with the drives connected to the Gigabyte SATA2 controller. After the successful installation the Southbridge-powered ports work.
