Hello,
I have a new sata hard drive, I have it in the computer and am trying to boot the computer from the Windows 7 cd.... it is asking for a driver to be installed and I have been unable to find what I need... any ideas?

I usually find this when I am installing Windows from a USB optical drive. I don't have a solution for it (someone else might) but, if you have access to another pc, you could transfer your instalation files to a flash drive and install Windows from that (there's a bit more to it but there are numerous tutorials on how to do it).
