Got another issue that i bet nobody can solve.

Have a Dell E6320 - i5. I installed windows 7 on it about 2 years ago, no problem at all. But after some time on the shelf i need to install windows 7 on it again (the hdd is wiped so i can't access windows right now).

This laptop only has 1 usb port.
BIOS was A14 but ive updated it to A21 (latest) with the same issues.

Windows cant install because its looking for a drive: "A required CD/DVD driver is missing"

Googling this issue suggests to stop installing windows by USB drive(im not!) and to try another usb port (i cant!)

Bios has been checked, set to defaults and legacy is checked. It is not a usb 3.0 port. Its a standard 2.0 port.

Why can't i install windows anymore on this?
