Solved No disk option when installing fresh Windows 7

[FrustratedJP]

I changed out my motherboard today. I plugged in the SSD that already had windows 7 on from the previous motherboard and plugged in a cd rom drive.

I went into BIOS and changed my boot to cd-rom.

When I restarted the pc it asked to press any key to boot from drive... I did..

After I picked the windows 7 64bit option I wanted to install I selected Custom (advanced) then the problem..

Where do you want to install Windows activated? My SSD did not show up in the list, well, nothing showed. I selected refresh, said no drives were found. I selected load driver then rescan. No devices drivers were found.

I read to open up a C: prompt, write diskpart, list discs, select disk #, clean.. once I wrote list disks it said there were none.

Once I restart my pc a second screen comes up and says: Raid option ROM, press cntrl - F4 for raid option rom utility.

What can I do to wipe the drive and install windows 7 on this new motherboard?

No ideas?

Check in the BIOS and see if it's set to Raid. If it is, try changing it to AHCI.
