Windows 7 Wont Detect hard drives when installing over network

when i try installing windows 7 on my netbook over a network it wont detect my hard drives

What is the exact error message, and when does it appear?

it doesnt say and error message.its when i get to the chose your partition section, it wont show my hard drives

nope i has xp.

How exactly are you running a network install? Are you trying to run the DVD or ISO from another computer using the currently installed OS? Where did you get Win7?

It's likely an installer read problem since Win7 has all SATA controllers, unless this netbook is old enough to only have IDE. You could try to insert the SATA controller driver at Load Drivers link on that page, but no guarantees.

If you fill in your specs or at least tell us your netbook make/model we can help you more.

Try flash stick install. Easiest method is to install UltraISO trial version, on File tab open ISO, on Bootable tab Write Disk Image, Format, Write. Boot stick under USB or HD's on one-time BIOS Boot Menu, or in BIOS Boot Order menu.

its a hp mini 1000,1 gig ram,Intel atom processor and yeah its from a dvd drive from my desktop

one more question can i boot windows 7 from a sd card

See if UltraISO detects the card like a flash stick using the steps I posted before.

Otherwise try this: Windows Forums • View topic - Install Windows 7 via USB or SD Media

We rarely get asked this. I am not sure it can be done. Hopefully someone else will know for sure or you can borrow a 4gb flash stick.
