Hello,

I was using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. I wanted to use Fedora 32 Bit. This is why I installed it on my hard drive along with Windows 7. After that, Windows 7 crashed but Fedora still worked and instead of C drive, all my other drives got formatted.

Now, the problem is that I am unable to install Windows 7 again. It is because I am not able to see hard drive partitions (ERROR is: "NO HARD DRIVE FOUND"). But, I am able to see the partitions in Fedora.

Can please anyone help me out with a solution as soon as possible?

Thank you!

Check your BIOS settings for the following parameters:
  • SATA configuration -> Enhanced
  • Configure SATA -> AHCI

At installation time, tell the installer to try to use these drivers by click on "Load driver":

You should try with your motherboard SATA drivers. If you don't have any, you can try this one, by downloading it on an USB drive:
