Trying to install Win7 from the student deals provided ISO. Drive shows up in the BIOS, but upon booting from the Win7 install DVD, receiving a prompt that no drives are found and then getting taken to a DR-DOS A:\ prompt.

Any ideas?

Get a flash drive, download the latest storage driver for your motherboard, and put it on the flash drive. Then during the part where Windows 7 lets you select the drive, load the driver from the USB drive and bob's your uncle.
 
Make sure RAID is disabled in the BIOS. Otherwise you have to provide a RAID Driver. That hung me up on a previous build.
