Seagate 600 SSD, Failed Windows 8.1 Install, Drivers needed?

Hi

I have a Lenovo Z570 and seeking to upgrade it with a 480GB  Seagate 600 SSD.  I tried to clean install Windows 8.1, but after successfully creating the necessary partitions, it failed to write the Windows files to the disk.   A dialog then appeared stating there was a device connected for which it needed a driver. OK.  I'll get the driver.  But I found none. So I'm stuck.

Does anyone know how to get past this and install Windows onto this SSD?

Thanks!

Reinitialized the unit using Active software and install went smoothly. Couldn't be happier.

Thanks all.
