You don't need to add any drivers during the install, Windows will do all that, just start the install and keep clicking next/ok; just be sure to create a password when prompted, Windows 7 does not like when a password is not created.
When I select browse I get a list of :Floppy, local :C, CD drive and Boot. Logically I select local, I am then told I need to format the disk in drive C before I can use it. I select format disk, and I am told windows can't format disk C. I need to check to see that the disk and drive are connected, make sure the disk is not read only then try again
What exactly appears in the drive window where you choose where to install Win7?
The SATA controller driver for that board should be in installer, but insert it to be sure.
Try setting SATA controller in BIOS setup to AHCI mode first, then IDE mode if necessary.
Try wiping the HD if it is used. SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Do you have a Dynamic Disk?
Test the HD using maker's diag/repair full CD scan: Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) then run Disk Check
HD may need to be initialized. Try to create partition and format it using the DISKPART commands in Part Two of the tutorial.
Then Mark it Active: Partition - Mark as Active
Do you have the latest BIOS version update?

I dont really understand how to run this tutorial when all I can do now is turn the computer on and play with bois settings. Sorry for my extreme noobness.
Boot the Win7 DVD, press Shift F10, then use the DISKPART commands given in Step Two of first tutorial to create and format a partition, and in second tutorial to mark Win7 Active.
See if installer then sees partition.
