What driver did you want to install?

Did you go into the "Custom" setting, and format your drive, and then install Windows?

Windows cannot find any drive on your system. So, Windows assumes that it is missing a driver in order to access the drive. That driver is your SATA controller, or RAID controller. Insert your motherboard disk into your system, and click on the Browse file, and browse through the folders of the disk drive where you have your SATA/RAID controller drivers, and select the inf file.

 

If you don't have your motherboard disk, or don't have an optical drive, on another PC, go to your motherboard website, and look for your SATA controller drivers there. You are looking for the INF version of the drivers, usually put into a zip file instead of an exe. Download it, and EXTRACT it into a USB flash drive (you can use the same USB flash drive as Windows setup. Yes it is safe to pull it out at this screen, as everything is loaded onto your RAM. Just put it back into the same USB port after.) It is important that you extract the drivers, as at this stage of the Window setup, Windows is not installed (obviously), and therefore is unable to run .exe files, let alone extract .zip files.
