You're not making sense. What do you mean you need the drivers to reforamt? You shouldn't need anything to reformat.
W7 installation trouble.

Does the installer think you have a RAID setup due to a setting in the BIOS?

When I get to the part where it normally lets you reformat, it says it can't find any "signed drivers." Why is it saying its not finding any signed drivers, it never asked that when I downloaded vista x32 multiple times. Why is it not working now? Thanks in advance for any help. |

Oh, I see what's happening. Don't click on that. I think that's only for when you have a RAID setup. So, do not click "Load Driver".

I do everything to do a clean install. Then the part where it asks you which hard drive you want to loadW7 on, thats where you load drivers with a flash drive/cd/dvd. I have the mobo drivers on a dvd and usb drive in my pc, but it still says no signed drivers. Do I have the wrong drivers? Even though the vista version of the same drivers worked to install Vista? |

Not sure, I haven't changed any settings in the bios. And I just installed Vista on this pc last night, but it has no license. And today I finally have the time to just sit down and work this out.

Just in case my post got buried: I think I know what's happening. I mean, don't click "Load Driver". I think that's only for RAID setups. Just go through that part of the installation without clicking "Load Driver", and then it will go smoothly.

This is exactly what I'm saying here. Unfortunately, this installer doesn't say "Only click Load Driver if you have a RAID setup to install".

Oh, so now the question is Why doesn't the IDE hard drive show up when Windows 7 ask you to select a hard drive?

When I get to that page it asks you to pick a hard drive to partition, mine doesn't show up. It asks for drivers so you can locate the hard drive. When I installed vista, the bloodrage mobo drivers made the partition show up so I could reformat and then install Vista. When I do the same thing, (except with W7 drivers) the drive still does not show up. |

Yes.
When it didn't show up with Vista, I just got the mobo Vista x32 drivers.
When I try it with W7, the mobo W7 drivers dont work/show the hard drive.
(My hard drive shows up in BIOS, just so you guys know)

I can't help but wonder if it's some kind of setting in the BIOS somewhere that's causing this.

It might be a setting related to RAID. My BIOS came with all of its RAID options enabled, but I disabled them all on the first day I got the board so I don't know if it makes any difference.
