new build problem

[Leprechaun312]

Hi just finished building my new pc yesterday and installed windows 8, after an hour i realized how awful it was and decided i would install windows 7 instead. But windows as always is a heartless ***** and will not install, it tells me that i am missing drivers, i have never seen this before anyone have any ideas?

heres the specs

AMD piledriver 8350 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-336-AM
gigabyte 970A-D3 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-409-GI
8gb kingston hyper-x ram https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS
msi AMD radeon HD 7850 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-154-MS

All the drivers worked in windows 8 i didnt have to install any but its wierd that windows 7 is missing them

btw when i say it says its missing drivers i mean that after i select my language and select install windows it then say setup is starting and then opens a window and says drivers are missing

I take it this is a genuine version of windows so not an issue of a dodgy image, in that case did you format the drive before starting? it may be that the disk is seeing a newer version of windows doesn't have newer drivers than those already installed so doesn't want to continue.

Just a shot in the dark, have never come across this myself.

it is but i had to go and get sp1 version of windows, tht fixed it the retail disk isnt sp1
