Hi guys,

I am just rapping up my first build. I have gotten to the Windows 7 installation screen and I get thru the first couple of steps before the actual install. Its asking me to, "Select the driver to be installed." I can't figure out what they mean. I have no idea what to do from me here or how what the fix might be. I have googled around and saw a couple of other people with the same issue.

I was hoping you guys may have some experience on this and may be able to tell me a fix.

Thanks in advance!

Error message in full, "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."

I have given that a try and still nothing. When I go into my bios screen, its only showing my DvD writer. I can't see that my hard drive is connected to the board. I am wondering if thats my issue.

If I were to go buy an external hard drive? would that be a temporary fix?

Are you sure you have both the IDE cable and the power cable (I can't remember the specific name) hooked up correctly?

Pretty sure.. I even rotated the cables on my DvD writer to see if that would work. I am thinking it might be a bad hard drive.

Oh that really isn't good. Is it possible you could test the hard drive on a friends computer or something?

Fears confirmed- I just went and picked upa 500 gb 7200 rpm, popped it in there and am now installing windows.

I had two parts seemingly DOA, is this unusual?

All in all, build is complete.

Thanks for the help everyone, not sure if I could of gotten it done without the tips.
