GA-MA785G-UD3H HDD driver issues

[Blu-wolf]

I have been building a computer by myself (1st) and I've been having issues installing my HDD. I'm trying to install Windows Vista Home Premium (gonna upgrade to 7 when I get the computer running) and I can't format my HDD. I can't seem to be able to get it to acknowledge the drivers. I have been searching online for drivers but none of them work.

I'm using a 500 gig Western Digital HDD.  WD5000AACS-00G8B1

I can find my HDD in Bios so I know its connected right.

Any help would be appreciated.

normally only a problem with XP but is it set to IDE Compatibility Mode, or AHCI?

try setting to ide mode just to make sure

Good luck

Right now its set to Native IDE. I can set it to RAID or AHCI but I only have the one HDD.

The issues I'm having is dealing with the Driver. Its really pissing me off.

Hi,

If you do a search on the net and throughout this forum you can find a lot of people facing this issue.

It is the hard-drive that you trying to use. Change it for one that is not green and your problem will be solved.
