Hello,
I am attempting to format and re install Windows 7 32b on an HP Stream 11 via USB bootable drive. The flash drive is brand new(just purchased today) and was formatted and written using UltraISO. The ISO I have is confirmed working on other install attempts on other devices.
I load up, boot from the drive and get to the "Install Windows" screen. After it starts the setup, I have receive and error "Required CD/DVD drive device is missing" and there are no options to install anything. I've done a good bit of research on this and tried several things, I'll go ahead and highlight them now so I get everything out of the way in the OP
-as said in the opener, flash drive is fresh 8gb from Microcenter, ISO is good and was written using UltraISO
-Confirmed I was using the correct 2.0 port(im aware w7 has issues installing from a 3.0 port)
-Attempted to use command prompt and diskpart to start the install. When I use Listdisk, it shows there are no fixed disks to show. When I use List Partition it shows no partitions, and finally when i list vdisk it doesn't show any virtual disks either. Very strange.
I think this might be my issue, but i'd like it confirmed. The Drive IS a 3.0 drive. The port is not, however. Is the fact that im using a 3.0 DRIVE an issue? I was hoping to get an answer before going out again to get a 2.0 drive.
Looking forward to a quick response.
Thanks!(obviously if you have any more questions feel free to ask. Im pretty technically inclined, However I have not fooled around with USB windows installations too much)
