HDD mode, Are you running a RAID, SATA or AHCI configuration? Try to install Windows 7 by USB stick and see if that will help

[TastTherRainbow]

we tried that and it still didnt work

I got this error when using a copy of windows I'd burnt to a USB drive are you using a legit install disc?

[Guest jopug]

Try removing components that could be causing trouble and trying again one by one

Wait wait wait.. guys.. come on.

 

The solution is simple:  2 things to do:

 -> Set your SATA controller to AHCI mode

 -> Insert the motherboard driver disk inside your system (switch it with Windows 7 disk), and by clicking the browse button, look inside for the extract SATA drivers (aslo referred as .inf drivers). If you have more patience, and better solution, is go at the motherboard manufacture website, and get the latest SATA extracted drivers from there, put it on a USB key, plug it to a USB 2.0 port, and click on Browse button, and locate the drivers.

 

Now, Windows Setup will detect your drives, and Windows will install just fine :)

That will not solve his problem. The problem is that his HDD/SSD is not being detected, as Windows setup doesn't have the drivers.

oh i see he doesn't have a hdd to install onto

i like to take out the cell for a minuet in the motherboard usually fixes loads of problems i have but make sure when u restart it and stuff u go into bios and disable the floppy disk

drive A or something like that

 

*note* put cell in right way i nearly done it wrong once =D

I would shy away from non-Official Microsoft OS download sites if not totally avoid them at all cost.

 

Other than that follow what GoodBytes listed and make sure you are connected to the right SATA ports on your mobo or your HDD is in the main SATA ports for the drivers you install, some SATA ports are not meant for BOOT drives and use a different controller.
