First If I have chosen the wrong forum section, Moderator please move this to the correct one. Thank You.
1. Brand new computer build (Everything clean except the Vertex SSD Drive)
ASUS Maximus VI Hero mobo
Flashback Bios used to update mobo BIOS to most current version (o711 for Hero board I believe)
Installing/Booting Win 7 Ultimate from USB stic.
Issue: After selecting Install Now from the initial Windows screen I get "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now"
I select Browse.
The system is only allowing one Driver set to be shown when "Hide drivers that are not compatible with hardware on this computer" is selected.
This includes drivers on the Win 7 Flash, Dowloaded Drivers from ASUS, Downloaded Drivers from OCZ for Vertex (all on a separate flash except the Windows drivers onthe Win flash.)
The shown driver isnt accepted when trying to load it.
I don't believe the drivers for Vertex are the ones I need but I can't seem to find drivers specific for the Vertex3 MI SSD drive I have.
I had this issue once before loading Windows onto the drive in my old system when I first installed the OCZ (received drive from a friend so don't have disk or any manuals for the drive) Another friend (now living in another state) reformatted the OCZ, partitioned it and somehow got drivers onto it using a linux program ( I don't have the knowledge for the process he used, he did it fast and I wasn't able to follow along)
Oh, point I forgot, these are running on SATA 6 (in case that matters)
My motherboard recognizes any and all SATA drives I connect(have disabled all except the Vertex and DVD drives to limit confusion) so it's not a mobo BIOS update to my thinking. I am quite sure it is Windows issue with not recognizing the drive.
The Question: with windows yet to be installed, how can I reformat my OCZ SSD drive and then partition and re-install the drivers (if I can find them on the interwebs) so I can load Windows properly.
If I have missed any important info you need please let me know and I will add it
Thank you all in advance.
