    hello i just recently purchased the MSI EX625. its only about two weeks old and i decided to upgrade from home premium to ultimate. So i did a fresh install i formatted my hard drive and created new allocations. well for some reason i get to this driver device screen and it says "to install the device driver needed to access your hard drive insert installation media containing the driver". i have no idea what this means? do i need some sort of driver for my hard drive? if anyone has any suggestions i would greatly appreciate it. thanks

    I think it's asking for the SATA controller drivers for your motherboard, though i'm not surewhy.

    you shouldnt need a driver, as windows will install a generic controller driver from the cd. Put the cd back in, do a repair from the cd, see if this helps.
