| | Hi Rapmaster, welcome to the forums. Do you have anything listed at all? The drive may be showing as 'Unallocated' which will require you to create a 'New' partition. Jeff |

| | You should be able to format the drive during the actual install process however you may want to set things up before hand to get things exactly how you need. For this have a look at partition wizard and their bootable disk here .... Partition Magic Alternative - Partition Wizard is a magic partition software for Winidows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 Server and Windows 7. The software is a lot more advanced than that built into Windows 7, it works, and it's totally free |

| | Ok thanks for all the replies guys. My problem is that I can't access Disk Management as I haven't installed Windows 7 yet. My Hard Drive is recognized in BIOS, and I have set up BIOS to read it as both AHCI and RAID to see if it would make a difference. I have the latest Drivers for my MB (on both the MB CD and a flash drive), but when I select the driver, it just hangs for awhile then goes back to the Window screen saying there are no Drives located. Would this be an HD installation problem? a MB problem? I suck at this! Thanks again, Dave |
