I just set up my first desktop and have been working on installing Windows since Christmas. Every time I reach the installation screen asking where to install, a 93.2 GB unallocated drive appears. It says it should be connected via USB or IEEE 1394, but it's actually connected through SATA. I've tried making a partition with the command prompt and formatting the disk, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks ahead!

Checked the manufacturer’s site for hard drive drivers. Last weekend I was updating Windows and the system couldn’t detect the hard drive. It turned out a firmware upgrade was necessary for Western Digital devices.
