More info is needed, most likely is asking for your Disk's driver. What kind of Disk you have, HDD, Hybrid, SSD? What kind of SATA mode have you setup in BIOS: IDE - AHCI - RAID?

The drive is a hybrid seagate and my sata mode is AHCI

I see... AHCI mode is ok, but being a hybrid its likely that Windows needs its drivers to be able to use it.

You need to get into your motherboard's website and download its "SATA Drivers" or maybe entitled "RAID Drivers", have them in another USB pendrive so your Windows Installer can retrieve them.

Another option is to slipstream those drivers directly into your Windows Installer, you can follow this guide:
