G+_John Mink Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 We need a bit more info first....what system are you using? Is this an internal or external drive? do you have more than one machine that you've tried this drive on? What Operating Systems is the machine you're using running? Also, do these machines have more than one disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vincent Panico Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 It's custom build desktop it's windows 7 it's internal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Mink Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Alright, how far are you getting, can you actually see the drive in Win7 (just not format it)? If so, what happens when you try to format it? If you can't see the drive in Win7 at all can you see it in BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vincent Panico Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 when i try to reinstall win 7 it wont show the HD to reformat it. and when i try to hit F8 from the list i tried everything and it wont work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Mink Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 "when i try to hit F8 from the list" you mean to access BIOS/UEFI when booting up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 F8 is for safe mode. Vincent Panico, is the dive sitting on a RAID controller? If Windows setup can't see the drive maybe it's missing some third drivers for the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
