Win 7 install cannot see hard drive

My office has a dual boot with two RAID 0 configuration bays (2 x 40 GB SSD Corsair and 2 x 230 GB Seagate Barracuda) with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on each table. I wanted to convert the largest to a standard IDE configuration with a clean install of Windows 7. I disconnected one of the 230 disc gig and put the other 230 as an IDE drive in the Intel Storage Manager. Now, it appears in the BIOS and I can see as a D: drive in Windows, but Windows 7 install do not.

With most large raid so disabled both Windows 7 boot choice appeared again during the boot, but of course that one can load. I tried to fix things with msconfig, which showed the two BONES, and I removed the disabled. But Windows 7 install again does not see the drive of 230 gig. (It's the disk Win 7 Upgrade btw)

How can I resolve this installation issue?

(1) you remove the existing partition and reformat the hard drive before installing Windows 7 on it? If this is not the case, do.

(2) also the 230 GB drive must be connected to a standard SATA (Non RAID) port before installing Windows.

What drives when using two pairs as RAID configurations has the "System" partition, it was the SSD drives or disks Seagate 2 x 230. I guess the system partition is on the SSD you can still start Windows with only the connected Yes SSD?  If Yes, then the steps 1 & 2 above are still valid.

    Installing a version commercial (street copy) of Windows XP on a Toshiba Vista laptop.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Step 1: Prepare the BIOS
    -Go to section Support/Drivers on the Toshiba site and look for your model of Toshiba
    -If your phone has a separate version of BIOS for XP and Vista, download the BIOS XP and run it in Windows.
    -If you cannot start Windows, you can update the BIOS after installing XP.

    Step 2: Enable SATA Compatibility Mode in the BIOS
    -If installing XP cannot detect SATA drive, enable SATA Compatibility Mode in BIOS if this option is available and install XP.

    Step 3: Install XP using a floppy with the SATA drivers
    -If SATA compatibility mode is not available, you must use the SATA drivers diskette during installation of XP. Follow these steps:

    (1) Download driver Windows XP SATA F6 on the site of Toshiba Support/downloads.
    If a single SATA/AHCI F6 driver is unavailable, download and extract the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver for XP in a temporary folder.
    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package must contain some files under the folder "F6flpy". For example: C:\temp\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\F6flpy\ICH8M_32bit
    Choose the right folder. For example: ICH8M_32bit for a Chipset of Intel ICH8 during installation of Windows XP 32-bit.

    (2) copy these files (iastor.inf, etc.) on a blank diskette. The files must reside in the root directory of the floppy disk.
    For example: A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc...

    (3) connect a Toshiba USB floppy drive to the Toshiba laptop. (some non - Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not work correctly during the installation of XP)

    (4) (4) demarrer start from the Windows XP CD, start the installation and make sure that your floppy with the drivers is inserted into the floppy USB drive.

    (5) for the XP installation invites you to press F6 to install a storage driver, immediately press F6.

    (6) for installing XP you invites to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue.
    For example: ICH7M Intel(r) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, Intel(r) ICH8M 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller

    (7) keep the attached floppy drive and floppy disk inserted XP has not completed its installation.
    Do not partition or format the hard drive during the installation of XP. The diskette SATA drivers are copied and stored on the hard drive during the installation of XP.

    I saw a lot of solutions such as if we were trying on USB 3.0 etc, but nothing helped. Please help me.

    Hello:

    On the PC with the Intel Skylake chipset like yours, there is no support USB2 and the W7 installation media has no the USB3 support, so you are between a rock and a hard place.

    The solution that works for most is to use the tool below to integrate the drivers USB 3 of your installation drive of W7 USB flash media.

    There are instructions in the readme on the link below to learn how to use the tool.  It should be run on a PC with W8.1 or W10.

  • T400 Windows 7 or Vista clean install - cannot detect hard drive

    I tried to install Windows Vista x 64 and Windows 7 x 64 using copies of two OS on my T400 retail. No operating system can find the hard disk during the installation process. I downloaded all the possible drivers of Lenovo and load them via USB for installation, with absolutely no luck. I installed Ubuntu until we have a usable computer, but I really need Win7 there, so I understand that. All solutions? (and tell me to go download the driver isn't going to help me). Also, I have messed around with the setting AHCI in the BIOS, but that did not help either.

    I thought about it. For some reason, I had to delete all partitions on the disk and create a single NTFS partition (using gParted), and then he appeared. I had not yet install a driver during Setup (BIOS was set to the compatibility mode).

    I've never seen this before on the wide variety of machines to dual boot, I've built in the past. Well well, at least its working now.
