Drivers for hard drive?!?

Both of those downloads are for when Windows is installed.

As in...when it's being installed?

If not then I don't know why it's not working. I'm on seven right now.

Okay, kind of a weird thing happening here.

Background first:
Computer: Asus X83V notebook
OS: Windows Vista Home

I'm trying to do a clean install with seven. I have both a DVD from Microsoft as well as a downloaded ISO directly from Microsoft. Both of these DVD's yield the same result.

When I boot from the DVD, I'm allowed to start the setup process, do a custom install, then it asks me for drivers for my hard drive. I don't have the option to continue.

When I'm in Vista and run the DVD, I'm able to select one partition of my hard drive that the OS is not installed on and install Vista on there. As in, it actually works.

The problem is that I want a clean install, everything wiped, etc.

so...ideas?

Have you installed Windows 7 now?

Yes. Switching from Enhanced to Compatible did the trick. Now the problem (if it's even a problem?) is that I can't switch back to Enhanced.

To clarify, we're talking about the SATA operation mode in the BIOS.

That worked.

I'm now fully up and running. You guys are insanely awesome.
