Windows wont install on brand new build

Edwinvalles124 · Oct 10, 2015

When I try to install windows 7 on my brand new build it says "A required CS/DVD drive device driver is missing. if you have a floppy disk,CD,DVD,or USB flashdrive please insert it now" I press okay then it says "No Device drivers were found. makes sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers and then click okay." ive tried formatting my ssd still a no go also used different hard drives.

Is it a flash drive or a cd drive installation?

Gate9er :

flash drive, ive used this same one on my other computer about two days ago.

Do you have any other storage drives connected?

Edwinvalles124 · Oct 10, 2015

Gate9er :

nope just one brand new SSD.

Ok try and format your disk using CMD once you get into Win7 installation menu. The following link will guide you through:

How did you created the bootable Flash?

When I did it, I created a bootable ISO (forgot what tool) then used YUMI to write the flash boot loader.

jsmithepa :

Easiest tool is Microsoft's Windows 7 Usb DVD Tool. It's free and easy.

Gate9er :

its still did not work(I accidentally made this the best answer)

Try and re create your win 7 usb using Windows 7 Usb DVD Tool.

Edwinvalles124 · Oct 10, 2015

Gate9er :

I have already tried that.

Gate9er · Oct 10, 2015

Ok try this. When Windows is asking for driver, just click Cancel. You will be brought back to the welcome screen. At the welcome screen, remove your USB drive, insert it back to DIFFERENT USB PORT. Click Install Now again. The installation process will be like usual.

Gate9er :

That's what I tried first but for some reason I had prob with it, but whatever works right.

Edwinvalles124 · Oct 10, 2015

Gate9er :

Unfortunately this did not seem to work :'(

Gate9er · Oct 10, 2015

Do you use a front panel USB or directly onto the motherboard?

Edwinvalles124 · Oct 10, 2015

Gate9er :

directly into the motherboard

According to Microsoft, the ISO you started with may be the culprit https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2755139

tman1 :

so if i buy a new copy of windows it will be fine?

tman1 · Oct 10, 2015

Sorry, I missed the part where you said it worked on a different computer.

You have tried other USB ports that are not USB 3.0, correct?

Edwinvalles124 · Oct 11, 2015

tman1 :

Yes I have tried every usb on the computer

Gate9er · Oct 11, 2015

That is really weird. I have had the same issue before in some occasions, and any of the above solutions had worked for me.

tman1 · Oct 11, 2015

Then I would probably go back to the idea of using a different iso again.

In one occasion, my box would not usb-boot from a GPT partitioned flash, it wanted me to MBR it.
