Windows 8 has arrived and i put it into my computer. It loaded up and asked me what intallation method i wanted i picked Custom because that what you need for a new PC. Anyhow now it says Where do you want to install Windows? and it then says " We couldent find any drives. To get a storage driver click load driver" So i click load driver and it says " To install the device driver for your drive, insert the installtion media containing the driver files then click ok" "NOTE: The installtions media can be a CD. DVD or USB flash drive" What do i do? i put in the cd i got with the motherboard and it came up with alloud of drivers or something but it said i couldent use any of them.
This is my pc: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Your2EzY/saved/d82WGX

You need to partition the drive before you can install to it. Otherwise, Windows will not recognize that there is a drive installed. Follow the directions at the following link and when you create the new partition just allocate the entire drive space for the partition. After you create the partition you should then be able to select the drive as it will now be available for use and click next.

Or you can use something like Gparted to create a partition on the drive first and then install.
