New Build Windows Installation problem.

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

Im trying to install windows on the pc that i just finished building. When i get to the stage of choosing the drive on which i want to install the system, it doesnt find anything. I rescan but i keep getting the same result.
Specs:
z97 extreme4
4790k
120 evo
1tb seagate

When i click rescan i get this:
No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, the click OK.

Is your copy of Windows legit?

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

Yes i bought it on ebay. Ive had serial code and everything, but the next step is what i described.

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

Its Windows 8.1 OEM

tiny voices · Aug 22, 2014

The serial code will not show up as legit or not until it is installed. Ebay copies are OFTEN pirated or branded OEM copies.

Does the BIOS see the HDD and SSD?

Can you link me to the copy of Windows you bought?

This is what i bought, at least thats what its my purchase history.
Im noot good at Bios, so a little guide would be great.

i went into bios and typed in 'diskpart' and then 'list disk' and it says there are no fixed disks to show

tiny voices · Aug 22, 2014

Windows looks legit. Just boot to the BIOS by pressing whatever key it tells you and then see if the drives are listed under drives or storage or boot priority.

You have the drives connected to power AND the motherboard right?

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

ive got them coonnected with one sata cable.

tiny voices · Aug 22, 2014

Are they connected to the Power supply? They need to be.

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

ive goot it running now. its installing on ssd. i had to reset bios to default for some strange reason. im usre im gonna have more questions later. its my first build.

tiny voices · Aug 22, 2014

Good luck!

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

now ive got other problem. it found HDD and SSD while installing windows and now when i go to my computer it only shows my SSD. Do you have any idea what may cause that?

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

i go to disk management and it finds my hdd there but it says that its unallocated.

tiny voices · Aug 22, 2014

You need to use the disk management utility to assign the HDD a letter.

thanks alot, fairly simple. but right now ive got a problem which i wasnt expecting. Ive got wifi D-link DWA-160 and after installing the drivers the small light doesnt flash, the pc makes the noise when i connect the usb, so usb ports are fine. Any help here?

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

i click on the dlink application and it tells me to push the wps button on my router and a small window pops up, like its searching for signal and after 30seconds it disappears and nothing happens afterwards.

creator89 · Aug 22, 2014

ive tried it on my other pc and it is working and it finds wifis. is is possible that i might have done something wrong while building my pc? all usb work fine, my keyboard and mouse work without a problem.

tiny voices · Aug 22, 2014

No, you didn't do anything wrong. It is the drivers more than likely. Try to wipe them and reinstall.

creator89 · Aug 23, 2014

Ive tried it few times and it doesnt work. Im connected through cable now. Wifi works fine on my other pc though.
