Driver Problem

[Shadow-R]

Terve!

I'm really feeling like a noob again, but I'll try to do something more helpfull than lying on the floor and crying like a baby.

However. I am building a PC for my sister as a replace for her old one. 

I have a Gigabyte Z170XP SLI with a Core i5 6600k and 16GB of FuryX RAM.

When I am starting to install the Operatingsystem (Windows 7 64 Bit) there is the well known: "driver is missing" message.

Usually I'd go into the BIOS and set the SATA configuration to "IDE" and not "AHCI" but there is no IDE in the BIOS.

I have tried to install drivers from exFAT, NTFS and Fat32 formated USB drives (which did not show up on the driver selection).

After that I have tried the installtion off a CD Drive (included driver disk).

I might be able to install everything on another machine, but I am alway about to learn what is going wrong.

The probelm on the CD/DVD is that it tells me that there are no drivers (when I selected a folder with a driver in it and selected it on the list of the drivers).

Does anybody know what I have to do or is it just an other DOA Mainboard?

Thanks a lot.

Why? you are dropping quite a bit of performance by doing that. The best course of action would be to go to the motherboards manufacture driver page and download the SATA drivers, plop them on a USB and click "load driver". You will need to restart the installation with the USB in before it will detect if its not showing up on refresh.

I did it out of convenience. I have tested things a bit around it and did not see the performance hit. I might have screwed that up though.

Also, the USB drive did not show up what so ever. I have tried to restart it and tried other ports in which my peripherals worked.

The only thing I see is the "boot x:" folder and eventually the DVD drive (if connected).

Is there a spefic format (like FAt32) required to get recognized?

Well, apparently I look like a total idiot.

I know that my screen should look like this:

But it only shows the DVD Drive and "Boot X".

No idea why. So I guess I am going back to optical drives. Because no one needs DVDs anymore, right?

So far it appears to work.
