In somewhat of a predicament...(need computer help)

[WickeDKlowN]

So I got the rest of my computer parts, aside from the PSU and VIdeo Card in today. Rather than waiting for some things on ebay to sell so I can afford them, I yanked them out of my old computer just so I could play around a bit.

Anyway, it all works great... Untill I try to install windows and it dosn't see my hard drive(Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA). I tried hitting F6 to install the drivers off the mobo cd when the setup first comes up but nothing happens. Since this is my first time dealing with a SATA hard drive, I have no idea what to do.

Specs:
Asus K8V SE Deluxe
Athlon 64 3000+
Corsair CMX512-4000
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120gb SATA

Any help would be greatley appreciated.

Copy the drivers to a floppy and install off of that.

Don't have a floppy drive...

I guess if it comes down to it I could go down to best buy and buy one, but is there any other way?

I was in a similiar place as you in July.. no floppy drive and my HDDs werent being detected [both SATAs as well, but RAID0 to complicate things]. Ended up pillaging a drive from some other machine I have lying around and I keep it in there in case it crashes and I need to start from scratch again.

Now that I think abotu it, there might be an old machine in the garage with a floppy drive...
