See if this works...

 

If you are trying to install Windows on the drive, you need to load the Intel storage controller drivers that I zipped up and attached below in order for Windows to find the drive.

 

Unzip the Intel storage controller driver file I attached and copy all of the files inside both folders in the F6 file to a USB flash drive.

 

Have the flash drive and your W7 installation media plugged into USB ports.

 

Boot from the W7 installation flash drive/DVD

 

When you get to the screen where no drives can be found, click on the Load driver option, browse to the flash drive with the storage controller drivers on it.

 

There are two different driver folders inside the main folder, so try both folders.

 

If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.

 

Click Next, and Windows should find the drive and install.
