Win7 dosnt recognize my hard drive

[winterman]

Some backround info: (or just skip down to the problem)
I just finished my first build
g3258 cpu , z97 mobo, r9 280

I already had good case and what i thought was good hard drive from an old computer
The case is still great. I am now trying to install windows 7 but am having great difficulty
This is an old hard drive, the last time i used it, 6 or so years ago, it got a virus and i never bothered fixing it.
So i figure with new build, easy enough, just install win7, wiping it clean.

The problem:
win7 recognized my drive, but then when i tried to go ahead, it now claims i need a new driver to access my harddrive.
It is an old maxwell msi 200gb . super small I know but I already essentially blew my budget, and i have another non gaming oriented laptop and a cloud for what i really want to store.

So i dont know where to start? I cant find a cd for the hdd drivers and the internet seems to be vacant as well.
From trying to read into this i see http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/188411en suggests a new "controller device driver" can someone elaborate here?
Really excited to get my first custom build up and running, so I give great thanks for the assistance!

2 causes,

1. It may be that the hdd connection would be Not correct or loosen
2. Maybe a mobo problem

Make sure you have installed all of the drivers for your motherboard and everything else.

turns out switching ports worked, not sure if the connection was loose or what the deal was since i hooked to SATA 1, but SATA 2 is what worked. Just thought Id add this incase anyone else ends up at this thread from googling a similar problem
