OK, I am trying to install windows 7 64 on a velociraptor 300GB sata II drive. It is the only hard drive in the computer, and I am doing this on an i7 X58 system. I have tried the intell SATA II ports and the marvell SATA III ports. I have tried raid, ahci, and ide mode. Every time I get to the windows 7 install screen it says no drive found.

The drive is detected in the bios.

Also when in windows installer if you choose load driver and search for a driver, the drive shows there???? heres a picture may make more sense.

Why does the drive show here as the C: drive, but doesnt show in the installer that I can install windows on it?

This is what i get every time.

Is there a driver I need to load, i must have installed windows a 100 times on this machine and have never needed drivers before.

I did put this drive in my other machine, and it detected it. I reformatted it because it used to be part of a raid 0 config. After reformatting in the other PC, it was detected and showed in that machine as a drive. I then shut that PC down, and moved it back to the x58 machine, to try to reinstall on it and am still having the same issue.
 
Also I just tried loading the raid drivers from my motherboards website. I tried both controllers. After loading the drivers still says no drive found. I just put the drive in my asrock z77 motherboard and tried the same thing and the drive doesnt show there either
 
I have 2 velociraptors. I put the second one in my pc and booted into the windows installer and without loading any driv3rs or anything it shows right up. Wh6 would one drive not show but the other does? Mind you when the other is viewed in windows it is accessible and reads and writes fin?
