Windows 7 Installation Problem: "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing"

[brodiezz__]

Im using windows 7 from a bootable iso file on a USB (used rufus to make it bootable)

My MOBO is a Gigabyte H170 D3HP

Ive tried using different usb slots as seen on another forum and none worked
(2.0,3.0 and 3.1)

Ive also tried looking to disable usb 3.0 in my bios and couldnt manage to find it

Help would be much appreciated as im about to run out and buy one on disk 🙁

go to motherboard page and look for a usb patch tool utility

some newer boards need that to be able to install windows 7

The motherboard page in my bios? Theres; M.I.T, System Info, BIOS features, Peripherals, Chipset and Power Management

Sorry im a bit of a noob at the whole BIOS thing... first pc build and all

no the motherboard manufacturer page on the internet

you probably need the patch utility to allow installing 7

yes that sounds like it--different makers use a different name for it

And how would i get that into my system without an OS? just via the same usb im trying to boot from?

 

[mcnumpty23]

never had to use it

guessing you need to do it on another pc

would think you run it with the windows bootable usb you want to use plugged and it patches the files for you

no problem

no problem

I have simply copied the file onto my usb which already contains the iso w7 file, testing now

Update: Exact same symptoms

 

[mcnumpty23]

think you may have to run the file with the usb plugged in rather than just copy the file to the usb
