Sata Controller Driver Windows 7 Install
So apparently the fix to this is installing SATA controller drivers, but everyone i've tried the installation cant find any drivers there. So how is the proper way this is meant to be done, and if anyone can find the right SATA drivers for an intel DH55HC motherboard can you please link it and please how to install it through a usb. I've tried the https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20821&lang=eng&ProdId=3142 chipset but can't get it working.
Please be clear and thorough, any help is appreciated please help!

The challenge you are experiencing with the new 170 series (intel 100/C230 chipset) is due to Windows 7 installer iso's not directly supporting xHCI usb mode.

Your choices are to either install Windows 7 from DVD or modify your usb drive with the drivers. Asus has a write up here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-K/DE164_100_Series_Windows_7_Setup_Guide_print.pdf

Following the notes from the links worked for me so far without issue.
A new link for the Asus boards with an updated bios shows a new setting that should help: asus dot com/support/FAQ/1013649/but I haven't been able to test this yet.
