    I Just got my computer built, it goes good until it starts to install windows vista, then it says there is no hard drive to install it on. The hard Drive spins, powers, and is even recognized on one of my other computer. Any Ideas?

    i've had this someproblem, you probably have raid on your mobo, you will need to enter your bios and search for something like raid controller or in that way and set it to IDE or SATA...

    could you tell me which brand mobo you've got? maybe by that i can tell it more detailed

    EDIT:
