No drives were found while installing windows.

[Speedy2662]

So, I was reinstalling Windows, and when it comes up to the bit that I choose the partition, it comes with nothing. At the bottom it says:

no drives were found. click load driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation

.

I am a newbie at computers and I dont want to open up my pc. Any suggestions?
My specs:

Intel(r) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80 GHz 2.80 GHz
4gb ram
windows 7 ultimate 32bit

Detected Chipset:
Intel® G43/G45 Express Chipset
Memory controller:
Intel® 82G43/82G45 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
I/O Controller:
Intel® 82801JIB Intel® I/O Controller Hub (ICH10)

It's been fine when i was reinstalling windows few months ago, but it started to bsod (blue screen of death) a lot so I want to reinstall. And that happens. Please help.

Unplug and plug again the sata power cable and the sata data cable . It may make it visible .
