Hello there, first time pc builder and first time posting so please excuse me if some of my questions seem a bit silly.
I'am having an issue with my windows 7 installer, displaying "A required CD/DVD driver is missing" when using a USB as a bootable device
Things I've tried/noted
1.The common fix of trying to change the usb port my flash drive is plugged into on the welcome screen does not work.
2.When I use the "repair my computer" option and open up the command prompt, and use "diskpart" then "list disk" my removable USB drive isn't displayed but my ssd is.
3.At first I thought it was because of my USB 3.0 ports not playing nice with the windows 7 installer (even though im using 2.0 slots), so I added my motherboard's usb drivers from the manufacturer's site to the "boot.wim" file. but still have the same issue.
4.I've made sure that the boot order is correct
5.Clicking "browse" to attempt to point to my usb only shows "computer" and "boot (x)"
6.There is no OS on it as of yet hence trying to install windows 7.
This is happening on 2 separate windows iso's
-Windows home priem
-Windows ultimate
Could I have been unlucky and have downloaded 2 bad iso files?
would appreciate some guidance on this issue, I've been at this for around 12+ hours and its driving me crazy.
