Yeah I just finished building my new pc and I get this message. Does it mean for me to insert my Windows 7 installation disk? Or Support disk?

rgd1101 · Jul 8, 2013

It mean it can't find and OS. So put in the installation disk and install win 7.

rgd1101 :

Thought so. Thank you! Wasn't sure because I thought it wasn't registering something. Alright back to installing! Thanks again! I'll let you know if that was it.

Okay new problem then. It's saying select the driver you want to install on and nothing is showing up and to put in a CD that has it if you have one.

Set the boot order to boot from DVD-ROM first and start the PC with the DVD in the drive.

What's your HD and what are the HDs set for in the BIOS, if they are set for RAID it's looking for a RAID driver, if the BIOS is set to AHCI then it may be looking for that, may just want to set the BIOS HD type to IDE and the Install DVD should find the HD

Tradesman1 :

I don't know as my HD doesn't show up in boot order just two DVD drives when I only have one. One is listed as "UEFI" the other isn't. Last I checked my Sata connections are set for AHCI which is what everyone says to use since it automatically makes it compatible.

Win 7 is looking for a AHCI driver, can get it off your mobo web site, put it on a flash drive and pop that into a USB drive -

Tradesman1 :

How is this fair? They don't tell me about this. I don't have a flash drive to use. I do have a support drive disc that came with the motherboard but I assume thats for after the installation. Is there anything else I can do?

Cody Sparks · Jul 8, 2013

Bump.

Cody Sparks · Jul 8, 2013

If it helps my motherboard is a "M5A97 LE R2.0"

Cody Sparks · Jul 8, 2013

Tradesman1 :

Well my Hard drive FINALLY showed up in my Bios and I was able to put it as priority one. Any ideas on why it took till NOW for it to finally show up after rebooting the computer like 2 times total? =/

Tradesman1 · Jul 8, 2013

May have been repeatedly trying to auto sense it

Cody Sparks · Jul 8, 2013

Tradesman1 :

I guess and as someone else pointed out it might of had to go through several Motherboard checks.
