So the story goes like this. I tried partitioning my HDD and messed up and both MFTs got corrupted. I used DMDE to recover my files and formatted the HDD. I also bought an SSD on which I want to install Win7.
Now every time I press Install Now it gives me an error saying "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" I have no idea what it's talking about! There's nothing wrong with the CD since I used to to install Win7 on other computer. I even plugged the SSD into another computer and installed Win7 successfully there but when I put it back it BSODs right after Starting Windows. I tried unplugging the SSD to install on my HDD still error.
I tried looking up drivers for the CD drive (hp SW810) fed him that when it scans it says "No device drivers were found" until I deselect the Hide drivers that are not compatible then it sees them when I select one of them it says wrong driver. I get the same error weather I try installing from a CD or a USB.
Tried installing Linux but it said something about the partition and hung up with no progress.

Please can someone tell me what the hell is wrong with my computer and why can't I install Windows on it!!!???


EDIT: So some progress I got SATA drivers frome here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme4/?cat=Download&os=Win764 and it seemed to like them and let me select which hard drive to install on. When I selected my SSD it said some error with the drivers again and sent me to look for more drivers. I put in a CD I got with the SSD but that didn't have any drivers on it. Go figure. NOW after I press Install Now it's the same story with the drivers except this time it tells me "No new devices could be found. Make sure the driver files are correct..." What gives?

I think your better off with doing another clean build, but this time disconnect the HDD so only the SSD drive is active and any 3rd party usb device excluding the keyboard and mouse.

Now when W7 asks you to select the drive/partition to install too, if you can see any exiting ones, delete them and then tell windows to use the whole SSD, it will sort out the partitions for you.

If you can't see the SSD, you need to have the AHCI driver on a pendrive at hand and use the option to load the driver and then repeat the step above. The AHCI driver will be available from your motherboard CD.

Once you get to a desktop, use the AMD all in 1 driver v12.3 driver pack off the website or from your motherboard CD, it should install everything your...

Now install the driver for you video card, then add any external devices one at a time, installing any drivers.

Once your happy, shutdown, connect up the HDD and when back in to Windows, use the Disk Manager to delete any old partitions and then create a single partition on the HDD and make it active.

So here's what happened. Those RAID drivers that I downloaded I selected one after I press Install Now and it accepted it let me choose which Win7 to install and let me select the disk. I chose SSD it asked for drivers again I selected the same RAID driver it accepted it and installed Windows. No clue if that's how it was supposed to go but w.e. I got to the desktop and now need to install the Ethernet controller which is easy. Thank you for trying to help me!
