CD/DVD device driver is missing. Windows 7 64bit install

[FainterXP]

Hello, I have a newly built PC with an i3 6100 and an Asus h110m-C/Csm motherboard, and whenever I try to install windows on a new HDD, I get the error "CD/Dvd driver is missing". I can browse through and see that the boot drive (X) is there, but it can't find the drivers. I've tried switching to every different USB port, and I have also tried different hard drives but northing works... I don't have a SATA CDROM so that is out of the question.

Windows 7 doesn't install like 10 on Z170 boards because there's no chipset support.

It is due to lack of proper USB drivers on Windows 7 for Intel Skylake based systems. Read this Asus FAQ on how to install Windows 7 on your system.

Hey, Here is the solution for you :
Particularly for SKYLAKE processor & 110 Chipset of intel, as i also have very same config.

Solution:
1. Simply download a clean windows 7 iso from anywhere and make a bootable ubs using rufus or something. No rocket science in that correct ?
2. Google for intel's Windows 7 usb 3.0 Creator tool
3. Follow the instructions as embedded in a file in this usb 3.0 creator tool
4. After completion of usb 3.0 creator's process, just eject your usb and plug it in your new build, boot from usb, and you will be done without any issue. Infact all usb ports will be working after installation too, so just install your rest of drivers by simply using a usb copy paste method.

Please mark the thread solved as and when you get rid of your issue

Brother no idea of session error, but what i guess its your faulty iso, because the usb3.0 drivers as i told in solution, comes from one source only and they cant be the source of error. So try to grab a clean iso of OS you are trying to install, and follow the steps i have provided in solution
