There are no fixed disks to show

    Hello Everyone, Sorry if this is a off topic.

    I am trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 on my Asus I3.

    It boots from the CD fine but it doesn't recognize my hard drive. When it asks me where I want to install it there are no drives at all it's just blank. I tried the diskpart, list disk, select disk [n], clean solution I found online but in the command prompt I still get the message "There are no fixed disks to show".

    Any suggestions?

    You might want to consider actually going for Windows 8 as I believe that all support for Windows 7 ends soon (it might have already ended)

    It just means you don't have the correct drivers for the harddrive controller in the setup. You can usually solve this two ways: either have access to the controller-driver on a USB-drive, and use that, or change the type of controller-mode in the BIOS (from ACHI to IDE or Legacy, for instance).
