This error can appear during a clean installation of Windows 7 when the operating system install media is not in the drive. This typically occurs when a user is required to exchange disks in order to install required drivers on the system and the operating system disks were not placed back in the drive before proceeding with the install.
The error would not occur if setup was started using a USB memory stick since the isntall media would not be switched.
The solution would be to change the driver CD or DVD to the Windows 7 install media DVD when this occurs so we can continue with the Windows 7 setup. In this particular situation it is likely that the RAID driver disk was left in the drive.

Please try to format the drive that you want to install your windows to and try installing again.

Hi. If you are not intending to retain any user data on the drive, then delete all partitions. And then re-partition it if you wish and retry the install. You will need to try a different HDD if the issue persist. Yes your board is certified for Windows 7
