[Solved] I ended up borrowing an optical drive and burning an install disk.
Hello all,
I created a Windows 7 ultimate bootable USB using Rufus and no matter what I try, I keep getting the "CD/DVD device driver missing" error. The bootable USB is fine, a friend tried it on his PC and got to the license agreement (which is the step I can't reach). I even tried using his external cd drive to install vista, just to see what would happen, and received the same error.
The BIOS on my motherboard is missing a bunch of options that people have suggested, like turning off USB 3.0 ports and switching from Legacy AHCI to Native AHCI. This is what it looks like: http://thepcenthusiast.com/gigabyte-x99-ud3p-motherboard-review/3/
Install also failed after creating a partition formatted to NTFS per these instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-to-do-a-clean-install-of-windows-7-8
Onto a second USB, I downloaded a USB Windows Install Utility from here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5589#utility
But after receiving the error and selecting Browse, I was unable to see the second USB. I even tried to put this onto the Win7 bootable USB, but still couldn't navigate to it. I know that this didn't corrupt the installer, however, because my buddy tried installing on his machine after I had done this and this is when he was able to reach the license agreement. I have tried this on every USB port I have.
Please help!
