asus laptop drivers

[kirk00]

I have a Asus vivobook F200CA-SH01T that I tried to install windows 7 on...I deleted all the partitions during the "where do u want to install windows screen and I must have deleted some drivers...when I reset the PC and got to the set up it said windows couldn't find any drivers or load them...if there isn't a operating system how am I suppose to get the drivers?

Are you using CD or USB drive to reinstall windows.

Windows can be finiky with usb and require you to switch usb ports and then restart the install window.

If you could tell us specifically what error it says.

 

[hang-the-9]

Are you installing from a DVD or USB? If USB make sure you use a USB 2 port.

When you said you reset the computer, why did you do that? It should have just gone through the setup after you deleted the partitions and created a new one to use.

You may want to put some details about the exact steps you are doing and what the error message is and when it comes up.

I'm using a USB to flash it and when I deleted all of them it wouldn't let me create a new one..I kept getting error in disk part...the error that shows up is "load driver: a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk CD DVD or USB flash drive, please inset it now" is the USB drivers missing?

 

[kirk00]

When I click ok at the bottom a new errorerror pops up "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers and then click ok"

 

[kirk00]

This error is on the install windows screen of setup it says select drivers to be installed

 

[boosted1g]

Ok, first off you need to be in a usb 2.0 plug and not a 3.0 (3.0 is blue, 2.0 is black).

If you are in a 2.0 plug and still get that error, move usb stick to different 2.0 port, close prompt and cancel, it should take you back to first install windows screen, then select install agian and go through the motions and it shoudl allow you to install windows.

Its still giving me the error...any other ideas? When I try to install windows 8 it won't let me delete disk 0 partition 1 and I can't create a new one or use the unallocated spAced

 

[boosted1g]

OHHH YOU ARE GOING FROM 8 TO WINDOWS 7.

You need to load the disk controller drivers into windows setup where it asks about what partiton.

You shoudl be able to find sata/raid chipset drivers on ASUS website.

Windows 7 does not have do well with GPT using its built in drivers, so it needs some additional drivers.

 

[kirk00]

So would iI have a Better chance installing windows 8 or 7??

 

[boosted1g]

Windows 8 would have GPT and UEFI bios support out of the box

 

[kirk00]

So since I don't have a operating system can I flash it using easy flash in my bios settings?

 

[boosted1g]

Easy flash is for upgrading bios to a different version, not installing an OS or anything to do with drivers.

Where you trying to update bios, your post mentioned nothing about that

 

[kirk00]

No I'm asking...if I don have a operating system how am I suppose to get the drivers onto the laptop. I'm Dowloading them from a PC how do I get them on a laptop

 

[boosted1g]

When you get to the windows screen in the install that shows the partitions, at the bottom of that screen there is a spot that says load drivers.

 

[kirk00]

So I jus Add them to the USB drive with the windows set up?

 

[boosted1g]

Put them on seperate usb drive.

 

[kirk00]

ok thanks..so whats the name of the drivers i need to download?

 

[boosted1g]

It appears that there is no sata/raid drivers available for you laptop from asus directly.

Download this: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22586&keyword=9.4.0.1017&DownloadType=Drivers&lang=eng#_ga=1.115956614.1677591988.1390835150
Then use 7zip to extract the exe, put the files on usb drive and then try to load those drivers at startup.

If this does not work then you have 2 options:
1) install windows 8 instead
2) Completley format the drive and wipeout your factory recovery partion, dissable uefi bios and switch to legacy mode, convert hard drive from gpt to mbr and then you would be able to install win 7.

Unfortunatly you will have to take several steps back to get win 7 installed.

Before you start messing with things, are you using the USB 2 ports to boot? That is step 1.

Then you need to go to the advanced drive options and delete all the partitions on the hard drive, and create a new one. After that it should let you install Windows 7.

There are instructins on how to get Windows 7 installed on new laptops with the uefi bios, do a web search if you can't get it installed after you make sure you are using a USB 2 port and have all partitions wiped and deleted so you have a single un-used partition.
