2. Go to the manufacturer's website on another computer and download the latest drivers to a USB flash drive or other removable media.
3. Start Windows 7 installation again, on the "Where do you want to install Windows?" page, click “load driver”.
4. Insert the removable media containing the driver into your computer and click “OK”.
5. Select the driver from the results list and click “Next”. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue installing Windows 7.

Installing the latest drivers from the chipset manufacturer or changing some of the storage device settings in your computer's BIOS can help resolve this issue.

Enter, then find the item with sata, change its value to “configuration”, finally F10, and Y, save and launch, so you can identify it.
