For the love of all things good someone help me reformat my computer.

I have a WD1600JD-00HBB0 hard drive (SATA 160 gb drive). My motherboard is an ASUS A7V600

I am trying to reformat it, but it simply won't let me like my old IDE hard drive did.

I have the windows CD in, the boot order changed to CD first. I pressed the F6 for 3rd party RAID/SATA drivers, then I tried to load the driver from:

I formatted the floppy disk, then double clicked the .exe driver and loaded it onto the floppy.

When I restarted and put the A drive in (after pressing F6 and then S for drivers) the computer asks me if I want to install windows so I press enter and then it tells me it can't see any attached hard drives and to make sure everything is plugged in and configured correctly.

I have reformatted this drive before but I had an old floppy disc that had the correct drivers on it. I don't remember if it was a driver specifically for the hard drive itself or if it was for the motherboard. I have since lost the floppy disc and can't find the correct drivers online, or even a how-to instructional page.

I am about to tear my hard drive out and whip the motherboard with the power cables. Please someone save my computer from this sad and terrible fate.
