K12 does play relatively nice with most chip sets but I had problem 
with the new ATI 9x00 chipset in an MSI board. K12 wouldn't recognize 
it but FC4 would. You/he could try installing FC4 first and see if that 
works (install k12 at the end where it asks if you have any additional 
CDs)

If all else fails, RAID SATA PCI cards can be had pretty cheap (the 
"fakeraid" sort - hardware RAID is a lot more expensive but nevermind 
because it's likely that the RAID chipset on the motherboard is 
fakeraid, too). I resorted to this on the above mentioned  board 
because the card was $15 and I was in a hurry.
