Hey guys, earlier I was trying to reinstall windows7 ultimate 32 bit and when it got to the part where you select a drive to install it on my one doesn't show up! Why?
If someone has a solution please reply

I would try downloading the HDD drives from the HDD manufacture site, put them on a usb and then select the option to load HDD drives.

I can't find the goddamn driver download

According to Microsoft, the drive should install automatically without the need for any other software.

Windows 7 Compatibility for Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB Internal Hard Drive: Seagate. Drivers, Updates, Downloads

Has the drive been initialized correctly?


Does it show up in:

1. Disk Management
2. Computer
3. Device Manager
4. BIOS

Have you checked the SATA and power cables are connected correctly?

Where did you get Win7? Did you burn the DVD yourself? If so confirm ISO and burn another DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed.
