Hey everyone!

So I found some parts lying around my house, and decided to put everything together, here are the specs:
AMD Phenom II
Mobo- Gigabyte 880GA-UD3H
Samsung 250g SSD
(dont know the maker) but a 500G HDD

Okay so when I try to install windows 8 I am unable to choose any drives to install windows to, because no drives are showing up. After that, an error comes up saying "A media driver that your computer needs is missing" and along with that none of my hard drives are showing up when I try to install windows.

I go into my command prompt under the repair section of the installation, and under diskpart, I type "Disk list" and it says that there are no running drives/disks... But when I press ctrl-F to option the hard drive menu(Not exactly sure what it is called) I view the SSD, the HDD, and the disk drive. For some reason my bios detects the drives, but the windows setup does not.

Any advice or help would be great. And if I left anything out please ask questions.

Thank you!
