Windows 7 setup fails because it can't locate a storage drive to install on.
Windows 7 setup fails because it can't locate a storage drive to install on.
Attempting to set up Windows 7 on an SSD for a friend, the installation prompts show no available drive, and browsing options are missing. You need to identify the correct storage device before proceeding.
You install the drivers... it seems there should be a navigation option for finding drivers. You need drivers for your SATA-controller, not just your drives. Before you ask, "I don't know where the drivers are": look them up online or retrieve them from an existing setup on your computer. A helpful tool for this is "Double Drivers."
I visited the motherboards website, downloaded the chipset driver, and then tried installing the AMD SATA controller driver. The installation prompt said "loud drivers" and indicated that no new devices were found. What should I do next?
