Hard drive not recognized in windows installation

Jaigaur · Sep 20, 2014

I have Sata drive in the unit and is shown in the bios. Windows xp or 7 does not recognizes that inspite of loading drivers. The drive is fine and is recognized when booted via IDE drive OS

if the motherboard is an amd chipset or 3 party chipset mb with window install you have to do the f6 extra driver install and have the motherboard chipset drivers expanded to a cd or usb stick so windows can read there inf files. if the f6 trick wont work use windows xp or windows 7 iso slipstream software to make a new iso image with all the updated drivers and service packs.

You would need drivers for XP. But Win7+ should install generic drivers if you put it on AHCI mode

Also if the motherbd is uefi you will need to drop it to bios or compatibility mode. Also turn off secure boot if you can.

True and if its 32 bit , 32 bit doesnt support, or fully support UEFI mode. Altho it might if you enabled CSM if its in the BIOS

So you may / or will have to disable UEFI and secureboot if you want to install XP

I already tried loading drivers via F6 option. It did not work. Where do I get Win7 ISO slipstream software and how to make ISO image. I have the win 7 CD.
