Missing Hard Drive?

demon8991 · 16 Oct 2009 at 07:28

Morning Guys,

I’m having some trouble with a vista ultimate 64 bit install every time I get to the screen which says ‘Where do you want to install windows?’ there is no hard drive that can be selected. I have tried putting the mobo cd in and selecting load drivers but it doesn’t find anything I have also tried going onto the gigabyte website and downloading the sata/raid drivers but that doesn’t work either.

I have the system listed below, what you guys think?

Yes the hard drive is in the bios i've checked all the connecters and it is connected to the motherboard correctly.

That's what i thought intially but i cant find the option to disable it in the bios?

Anyone got this board or the same bios and could direct me to where to disable it?

Plugged HDD into SATA slot 1 on MOBO was originally in Slot 2.

Also managed to get the Vista install to find the drivers on the CD in the end which it wasn't before.
