I just got this tower from a family member without a drive in it. They got a Trojan virus and couldn't repair it so they had the old drive destroyed then gave us the tower. I've installed a new hard drive and the BIOS can see it cause it says in SATA0 "1 TB" and displays the drive's serial number, or whatever...so, now what? I thought you had to format new drives and that you could do it in the BIOS but I can't find anything related to formatting in the BIOS... ANYWHERE!
It either says "No boot device available - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility" or "Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics" or nothing at all if I put in the Windows 8 disc after "Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v7.6.1.1001 ICH9R Copyright(C) 2003-017 Intel Corporation.

Please help. Thank you.
