Help With new motherboard.

[Ash_3_]

So I recently upgraded to a ROG Maximus VIII Formula. The issue I'm having is I can't upgrade the drivers as the system wont recognize any of the storage drives.

Now when I say that I mean Windows for some reason won't. The BIOS recognizes the drives perfectly fine but as soon as I boot into windows....nothing.

I have tried all the methods here:- http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/external-drive-not-recognized-this-is-how-to-fix-it-in-windows/

Also obviously I don't have internet access to download the drivers.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
Any help is much appreciated.

You need to do a reinstall.

At the start of the Windows 7 installation,
1) choose to add a driver:
Intel 100 Series/C230 Chipset Family SATA AHCI/RAID Controller
f6flpy-x64.zip - For 64-bit versions of the operating system
Language: English
Size: 0.58 MB

2) Delete all existing partitions on the drive and let Windows make the new partitions it needs.
