win7 install cannot find / won't install drivers?

KabuTheFox

new to pc building, first rig and boy is this becoming one big headache. i cannot believe i made it this far.

at this point i have created a bootable flashdrive for win7 pro via cmd
starts up and prompts for install upon boot
i also have a second usb connected for my drivers
win7 cannot seem to find said drivers on either the usb or discs
keep getting popups saying "no new drivers were found" (or similar) and on the off chance i find a driver in my usb that wants to start to install it gets interrupted and says it cannot install or some other popup

my rig; http://pcpartpicker.com/p/H9JZnQ

both the usbs are fat32 @ 4096 cluster allocation

have searched youtube videos and the like and nothing seems to do the trick, what am i doing wrong?

if its drivers you're talking about, get the latest from the motherboard's website (though i think you already did and put them in the pendrive)

then why not just execute the installers?

 

if its missing a couple drivers, go device manager and find the one with ! or ? mark and right click them -> properties -> device ID or something

then google to see what it is

and download the drivers from the OFFICIAL site

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

got all the drivers from msi specifically for my mb, they had everything to my knowledge.
not sure how i would run an exe before OS installation
can i get into device manager before my OS is installed? cause i am still stuck on pre-installation phase due to this

(right after i click install win7)

(right after i look in my usb for my sata/ahci driver and attempt to install that)

Just install windows first, then only install your drivers when you're done installing the os

thats the thing it is not letting me do that, right when i click to install win7 it goes to those popups
obviously i am doing something wrong but i am not sure what, might just be a corrupted iso is what i am thinking at this point

thats odd, can you take a picture for each step? maybe ill tell you what to click `-`

starting from the screen after you pick the usb as boot device

have, just greys out the "next" button until i choose to re-scan or browse for a driver again

as a sidenote, the next button is only clickable when a driver is selected. if it does not complete all it does is try to install again (rinse and repeat)

tried but files are also not selectable, just the folders. because all i can see are folders.
if i select the folder holding the setup for win7 it just gives me a different error popup, something like "no new devices were found" or something

supposedly it needs the sata/achi drivers or the chipset drivers, but chipset does not do anything and sata was the one in the images

reddit from a verified user on the software swap (most important thing is the key though i imagine)
downloaded a replacement iso from kickass and so far it is actually working with the Rufus usb booter program where as the other one did not at all. so so far i am thinking that the one the guy gave me was corrupted or something.

though interestingly it will not let me use fat32 with that program, had to format to ntsf
