I posted this previously but I cannot find it so I will try again.

I have an ASUS K53E laptop that I just upgraded to a Seagate ST1000LM014 hybrid drive.

The drive works just fine at the hardware and bios level.
It is partitioned formatted and empty.

I am trying to do a clean install of Win71.

Just as I remember from back in the WinXP days the Win71 installer is asking me to provide
a driver for the ST1000LM014 at the very beginning of the procedure well before it asks me
what partition to install to.

This driver would have to be in a format that is recognized by the installer.

I need to know where to get a driver and which one. There are no drivers like this on the
Seagate web page and Seagate techs have no idea.

Could someone please help me?

Well,
The Only Drivers It Might Ask Are IDE/SATA/RAID Drivers .But Never HDD Native Drivers Because they Do Not Exist .If You Cannot Handle This Give it To Someone who can free or paid

It would either be an IDE or SATA driver.

What's Win71? Did you mean 8.1? In any case, have you tried with the chipset drives for whichever OS and bit-ness it is, from the ASUS website?
