I just finished building my first pc. So it was time to install windows on it. I put the files onto a usb stick and put it into the computer, then entered my product key and I got to the screen that says "Where do you want to install Windows?" and it is not showing my SSD. My SSD is the only drive connected at the moment and it is not being recognised. I only get two options which are "Refresh" and "Load driver" and an error message at the bottom saying "We couldn't find any drived. To get a storage driver, click Load driver". Please help me I dont know what to do, its my first ever PC build. My motherboard is an MSI B85M-E45 if this helps.

Use the USB tool to reformat the drive (by booting from it) and install your OS on your SSD. Before installation you can wipe the SSD clean. Unless you want to keep the Win8 already on there but that might not be possible.

Ok so turns out that the SSD has windows 8 already installed on it and I didnt format it because of this. So the computer won't boot or recognise the SSD when I connect it through a sata and power cable it doesnt recognise it. But when I connect the SSD through a usb cable it boots into windows. How can I fix this?
