I buit a custom PC recently and I am trying to install Windows on to it. My system specs are as follows:
CPU: AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+ ATX FM2+ Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card
Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
I have another system (the one I am currently using) that has Windows 7 already installed. I created a usb boot drive using an .ISO and Microsoft's USB/DVD Download tool. The usb loads the installer but when I hit "Install Now", instead of going to the license information it goes to a driver setup. A popup comes up saying, "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing." I downloaded the Mobo drivers off of the ASRock website and put them on a external hard drive and tried to selcect it from there. However, I had to select "Hide drivers that are not compatible with hardware on this computer." The driver shows up, but when I select it the message, "no new devices could be found."
I have found out that through many different forums that this is a SATA problem. So, I've tried hooking up just my SSD, just my HHD, using a DVD instead of a USB, changed the drives to IDE and AHCI, and tried moving the USB to different ports, as well as downloading and installing a completely different .ISO. This may be a Mobo issue and not a drive issue, but I hope its not.
I really need help with this as I have been working on trying to get the OS installed for 2 days and am starting to get frustrated. Any and all help is welcome.
Thanks,
