Windows 7 Problem Installing Windows 7

[Metra]

I am trying to install windows 7 64-bit fresh on my computer.
When I get to the step which asks me where I would like to install it, my hard drive does not show up and the list is empty.

Specs:
asus p5n32-e sli motherboard
320 gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA HDD
Nvidia geforce 8800gts 320 mb
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Platinum Dual Channel ram

I researched that you might have to upload a raid/sata driver to make it work.
Can someone give me a tutorial or steps I could take in successfully installing Windows 7 on my machine
Thanks

Does your computer currently have an OS installed on it?

yes, windows vista ultimate.

OK. Your hard drive cable might actually be loose.
Take the cover off your computer, and check all the cables to and from the hard drrive

I reinstalled a fresh copy of vista recently, and the hard drive showed up no problem. It's when i try installing windows 7 the hard drive does not show up.

Ok, going with your initial comment on the RAID/SATA drivers...
You'd have to contact Seagate to see what they could do for you as RAID drivers are a hard thing to find.

there's the contact info for them
