I had this exact same problem when I first installed windows to my new computer.  Just restart your computer =P  Took me 2 times and it worked lol  Hope that helps

 

Actually that may not help.  I thought it was the same problem, but it was not...Oh well restarting does help most of the time. lol

Are you sure that they're configured properly?

[Frosty]

What kind/how many drives do you have in that machine?

 

EDIT: I'm blind.  :3

If czx's suggestion doesn't work, what happens if you remove the RAID?

still the same problem

btw yes is is recognized by my bios

I don't know much about HDD/SSD but could one of them be bad?  Tried them elsewhere?

Happened to me with the Windows 8.1 preview but works fine in Windows 7.

Hi, it is because of RAID 0. At this point during the installation insert the CD that came with your motherboard and click "Load Driver". Or if you lost the CD or are using a USB stick, using a different computer download the latest storage drivers for your motherboard and put them on the USB stick, again click "Load Driver".

You might need to navigate to the correct driver on the CD, just look for something, storage, RAID, AHCI, SATA, related and the installation will pick it up.

The reason there are no drives shown right now is because the installation doesn't have a driver for the RAID controller and therefore can't detect any drives configured in RAID.

Yes you can. Just make sure you unzip / unrar the drivers if they come compressed.

Well what exactly did you download? You're looking for RAID controller drivers for your motherboard.
