Hello,
I have recently purchased a new HP Sleekbook 15 - b003 TU notebook. But when I try to install Windows 7 on it, it asks for drivers ( I assume its for the SATA AHCI driver ) . I have tried providing it with drivers that I downloaded from Intel, HP, Lenovo, etc but it doesn't accept it.
 
Solution
I'm taking a look at the BIOS of the computer now....

EDIT: Well, it would appear that this computer came with Windows 8 on it originally. That being said, HP doesn't have drivers directly from them that support Windows 7 for this computer.

You need the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver for the computer to be able to install Windows correctly. The link above will take you to the Windows 8 version on HP's website. It may or may not work.

Intel does have an install for Intel Matrix Storage Manager on their site which is for Windows 7 and is designed to help the motherboard in that computer identify the HDD via AHCI. You can attempt to use that and see if it helps.
