Hi all,
I am currently using a new, clean 640gig western digital caviar black harddrive connected to my mobo through SATA.
Mobo : asrock77 pro3
I looked at the stickied post and the author wrote about every condition on what to do except my condition where the windows installation doesn't pick up on the harddrive.
in my BIOS my harddrive is detected in my sata port.
In the windows installation part, my HDD isnt found automatically and when i get it manually it says that the C drive is not formatted. I click OK to format and it asks me to supply drivers. My friend mentioned nothing of needing drivers for the harddrive and didnt supply me with any discs. To my knowledge windows 7 should not require any drivers for a blank sata HDD.
I will be actively searching for solutions while I wait for responses.
Thank you.
