Hi all, got a new build here, hardware problems worked out, now on to software. I've been following the instructions from http://www.dowdandassociates.com/blog/content/howto-repair-windows-7-install-after-replacing-motherboard/ and this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/42670-63-windows-boot-motherboard-bios in order to repair my current Win 7 installation and install Win 7 drivers for my motherboard.
I'm stuck on the part at the command prompt because I can't seem to detect the flash drive or the external drive that I put the drivers on. It can find D (my HDD), E (my SSD), and F (CDROM), but it does not register any drives beyond that. This occurs whether the USB drives are plugged into USB 3.x or 2.0/2.1. I have a PS/2 keyboard and mouse that seem to function fine through this process however.
Also, the advice in that thread about switching the BIOS from ACHI/IDE or vice-versa does not seem to apply in my case as my ASUS Maximus VIII does not have an IDE setting that I can find, only SATA settings are ACHI/RAID.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
