[Troubleshooting] Trying to install OS, Windows Setup can't find my hard drive
Hi again r/buildapc,
I just put together my PC and all of the components seem to be working! However, I'm having some trouble with the OS installation. My hard drive isn't showing up when it asks me to select a place to install Windows. When I run BIOS though, my hard drive is indeed there. It seems that the drive isn't formatted yet, so it isn't recognized.
I'm using a Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB 7200 rpm hard drive. I've tried googling for the proper drivers, but I can't seem to find anything that the setup will accept for the OS install. I'm also using a Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V motherboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
