Hi there all,

I'm trying to install Windows 7 64 bit on a newly built PC; All pieces are brand new. While trying to install Win 7, I get past a couple of screens then I get stuck at a "Select the driver to be installed." screen. Whenever I click on any of the drives showing up I get an error message that says Load Driver "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."
I have the bios set to boot from CD/ROM first, Hard disk second, and USB third. The bios reads the hard drive as the correct 1 TB that it is. The "OnChip SATA Type is [Native IDE]." I have checked and double checked that things are plugged in correctly, but do tell me if its still possible I did something wrong. I have also tried booting with a copy of Windows XP that I had laying around but that gave me an error about "unable to partition drive." I'd really prefer to solve the issue with Windows 7 and have that installed.
This is my first home built pc, so please go easy on me... Also please do ask questions if more information is needed so that my problem can be solved! T_T I'm feeling hopeless here guys, please help me out.

Solution
*** Okay guys, thank you all for your input and hard work assisting in the solution to my problem! ***

SOLUTION (SOLVED!)

In my case,

After PC was put together, I booted it up, held down the "DEL" key to enter the BIOS settings.

“Standard CMOS Features"
Check to make sure HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and CDROM drive is detected.

Both my hard drive, IDE Channel 1 Master [ST1000DM003-9YN162], and my CDROM drive are displayed, IDE Channel 1 Master [ASUS DRW-24B1ST].

“Advanced BIOS Features”
Change the boot order of the PC.

First Boot Device [CDROM]
Second Boot Device [Hard Disk]
Third Boot Device [USB-FDD]

“Integrated Peripherals”
Change the OnChip SATA Type from Native IDE to AHCI, then the OnChip SATA Port4/5...
