In the BIOS my it recognizes the harddrive, when I try to install Vista Home Premium 64-Bit (Totally clean installation, the harddrive is brand new, in fact every part of my computer is brand new) I get to the point where it says it cannot find a drive and tries to search for drivers (but does not find any). I have the CD that came with the motherboard and it does not seem to have any drivers that vista wants, I have tried loading the CD on another computer and seeing if there was an option to make a driver CD and I don't believe there is, I have tried downloading what I need from the gigabyte website onto a CD and USB drive and those don't seem to work either.
Maybe i'm doing it wrong or maybe I downloaded the wrong drivers I have no idea at this point but i'm determined to get this to install. The harddrive has not been formatted but vista does not seem to be helping me with that. Anyone with more experience know what I should do?
