Windows 7 64 bit installation problem - looking for DVD/CD driver

[Chero28kee]

I'm having problems installing Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a Dell Precision T5810. The installation DVD that I'm using has worked fine on Dell 790s, 7010s, E6430s, etc. On the Precision T5810, my install disk can not find the DVD driver upon which the disk is located. I have set the BIOS to install via Legacy. I set the DVD in the 2nd boot position. I had tried to do a UEFI install, but the same problem occurred. I would appreciate help and direction from any other users. Thank you.

You will need your License Key to do it, but go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7 and create your bootable Win7 Install USB stick. This will work much, much better than those old DVDs

Managed to change SATA config from RAID to ahci. Used a portable USB DVD ROM drive and got Win7 Pro installed. Had tried a bootable USB flash drive to no avail. Problem solved.
