I need help with installing w7. Due to some hardware replacement my windows 7 64-bit failed to run and I tried to reinstall it. But at the collecting information -phase it said "Error: A required CD/DVD device driver is missing".
Installing w7 32-bit (from CD) worked fine and installing motherboard drivers was successful. I thought 64-bit could then install as all the drivers are already there but I think I was wrong.
However, after 32bit installation windows was able to detect the USB and Motherboard's CD. It still does not find the drivers automatically, but works by opening the lowest subfolder of each drive. BUT when trying to install the driver from the list after a while it says
"No new devices could be found. Make sure the driver files are correct and located on the driver installation media."
I also tried to install 64bit with MagicDisc but it gives me an error that it is not a valid 32bit program and can't run. I'm confused of this too - am I supposed to have a 64bit w7 to install 64bit w7?
Any idea what's wrong here?
