Drivers for Seagate Sata III Hard drive

[TimmyG]

I hope somebody can help me.

I've recently built a new system using the GA-P61-USB3-B3 mobo but have been unable to install Windows 7 64bit my new Seagate Sata III 1TB hard drive model ST31000528AS.

I've successfully partitioned it and it works as a secondary drive when I've installed Windows 7 on an old drive.

But when I try to install Windows 7 on my new drive, it seems the necessary drivers are not already on the HDD or are on the cd-rom that came with the mobo.

I contacted Seagte about the problem and concluded that it must be an issue with the mobo. So I contacted Gigabyte a few days ago but am still waiting for a reply. In the meantime, I am getting increasingly impatient and keen to get it resolved.

Any ideas anyody?

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

What port have you got it on and how have you configured it in the BIOS ?

Is the whole system new ?

What port have you got the optical drive on ?
