Hello guys

I have following problem: I wanted to install W7 on my preinstalled W7 Dell Inspiron 7559 Laptop. Because I could not click "next" on the W7 Install I watched a video which told me to fix this by going into the diskpart and cleaning my disk through this commands:

Once in Windows setup, hit shift+F10 to bring up the command line.
>diskpart [enter]
>list disk [enter]
From the list above (assuming you have more than one HD installed, if not it'll be the only one), find the number corresponding to your HD.
>select drive [number] [enter]
>clean all [enter] * see note below
>create partition primary [enter]
>select partition 1 [enter]
>active [enter]
>format fs=ntfs [enter] ** see note
>assign [enter]
>exit [enter]
>exit [enter]


Now whenever I start the W7 update it says it can't find any drivers.


Help me out please, I've been trying to fix this for hours. Can I somehow install the Windows 7 drivers?

The Windows 7 installer does not support USB 3.0. You must use a USB 2.0 port, set the USB ports to 2.0 compatibility (or legacy) mode, use a SATA (internal) DVD drive, or slipstream USB 3.0 drivers.

Here's one such set of instructions for creating a custom installation:

It is a new one. And yes I used Rufus but got the same message.
 
I only have following settings:
USB Emulation
USB Powershare
USB WakeSupport and in Misc Devices USB debug.
Whenever I disable USB Emulation my USB doesnt load anymore and changing the rest doesnt change anything.
 
Have you tried a USB 2.0 slot? I had a similar problem when I installed my last system, I found out that my usb stick had bad blocks so it wasn't reading it right. I got random errors so I ended up getting a usb 3.0 stick. When installing it didn't see it and I plugged it into a 2.0 slot and had no other issues.

Just looked up your laptop and realize that all you have are usb 3.0 so that wont work.
 

The dell inspiron 7559 only has 3.0 slots. Doesnt it have something to do with the command I executed? Before I was able to see drives.
 

You should see it on the topic.
 

I have connection to the internet but no drivers installed I only got access to the BIOS and CMD.

i m sorry...my bad...😛
seems like u have formatted the disk clean with diskpart...ideally when u do that, there should not be any file system remaining on the drive...u went ahead and repartitioned the drive as well...in these circumstances ideally u get "boot device not found" or similar errors...u have probably deleted w7 from ur computer while trying to fix it...either that, or there is a huge communication gap between whats happening and how u r describing it, as i can see from some of ur previous responses...
try usb2 as suggested by others...ideally all ur usb ports should be reverse compatible...but ur source device needs to be usb2 compliant specifically...
