Hello,
I just built a brand new PC (my first one) and everything has slowly come together, except that the Windows 10 installer cannot find my HDD. Bios sees it, but installer and >diskpart in cmd do not.
Through my long days of researching, this is what i've figured out that i CANT do:
--go online and download xxx (because i can't boot from that computer to go online)
--go to device manager and xxx (again, cannot boot)
--repair computer during install to partition drive (diskpart doesn't see the drive either)
--<something about RAID/AHCI/IDE or whatnot> (it is set to AHCI)
--hook to another PC as an external HDD to format (only have a laptop, and no cradle-no way to attach)
Please help.. I've spent DAYS.. not hours, DAYS.. trying to figure out what to do. I think now i just need to download a device driver and pop it in a thumb drive. However, my issue is that i can't FIND the dang driver that i need. everything i've found is an 'auto scanner' thingy that scans your current computer for drives.
Any ideas???
Here are my PC parts:

Also, aren't these drivers supposed to come standard in a windows installer? Or am i mistaken?
