After failing to partition my hard drive correctly, I had a lot of unusable hard drive space, and decided to wipe my hard drive. I stupidly wiped the system reserved partitions aswell, and now reinstalling windows 8 can't find the storage devices. I believe that I need the storage device drivers, because there's a spot in the setup (everything else is the same, I just now can't find the storage)

Relevant info:
1 1TB Seagate barracuda HD
1 120GB Kingston HyperX SSD
Windows 8.1

Any information would be great since I'm stuck at the moment!

It's hard imagine that "storage device drivers" are the root of any problems you're experiencing "because there's a spot in the (Windows 8.1 installation media?) setup".

Anyway what precisely is the problem you're experiencing? I take it there's no problem booting to your Kingston SSD since you haven't indicated such and that drive functions OK? Does the problem involve the system not detecting the Seagate HDD when it's connected as a secondary HDD? Or are you getting some type of Windows messages about a problem/issue involving device drivers?
The System Reserved Partition is the Boot partition. There are no drivers or system files there.

What is your motherboard? Or if its a laptop what is the make and model? Also were their any RAID settings (I'm assuming not though). We need to find the right SATA Drivers for you.
