Hello. Yesterday I built my computer and tried installing Windows 7 until midnight. And I couldn't install it due to an error asking for a CD/DVD drive device driver.

I have tried with usb 2 usb drive in a usb 2 port, usb 3 drive in usb 3 port, usb 2 drive in usb 3 port and usb 3 drive in usb 2 port. AHCI enabled. Tried multiple ISOs. No succes

MSI H170 Gaming M3
Intel Core i5 6500
8 Gb HyperX DDR4 RAM
1Tb Seagate Drive


The image is from a google search, but that's exactly what i get. Thanks!

@smorizio I used both rufus and the Microsoft usb dvd tool yesterday. I was thinking about the chipset driver from what I've read. But how do i install it. Also, is there any problem if i use the usb 3 drive? I'll try when I get home. Thanks!
