I just bolted this together and tried to load win7 onto it from a bootable USB stick.

Once I switched to PS/2 mouse and keyboard I was able to begin the install - it booted alright and began.

But almost immediately, just after choosing US English and all that, it stopped saying there was a CD/DVD driver missing, check its on the install media.

Well that's MS win7 install ISO on there and I've used it successfully before so I think it is something to do with the Asrock board.

Anyone can help with this at all? How can I get the thing started?

I'm a system build, that's my full time job, day in day out. I build around 10 to 15 PC's every day of the week. I've used plenty of Asrock H110 motherboards. Installing any Windows is simplicity itself as I described earlier. Maybe your USB pen or files on it are corrupt? Try recreating it using Rufus. Good luck.

Sorry, no, doesn't help. Read heaps about Asrock, Win7 and USB and none of it helped. Biggest thing was take out the stick and just put it back in another slot. That worked fine for heaps of guys. But not everyone. Not for me.

I got the OS in finally but it is all not fixed yet. Because the OS is in but there's no USB ports - except those the mouse and keyboard are using. It sees them alright.

I got the OS in by finding a SATA DVD drive and putting an install disk in there. Installed from there onto the HDD. With the system recognising the mouse and keyboard I was able to do an install.

All looked super good until I tried to use a port for the wifi dongle.

What a hassle. Maybe I should give win7 a miss, maybe that's the problem. Go straight to 10 or go back to XP? Can't do that. Go to Unix.

Strange lack of concrete direction from the Asrock people. Big popular boards, big popular OS, they should fit together good.

Ditch Windows 7! Go to Windows 10, it's far superior despite all the people that can find something to complain about. You won't look back.

I've got a win10 machine. Don't see anything great about. Don't like the way they've screwed the interface, finding your progs - but maybe I can change that.

The behind the scenes stuff isn't impressing me right now.

The upfront in your face stuff is mainly annoying me.

But if it'll fit on the Asrock no trouble that'll be a big thing in its favour.

Well aren't you impossible to please. I do Windows installs every day at work, from USB pens. My routine for that motherboard, which I do use, is to simply use a USB2 port for Windows 7. Maybe your pen is screwed up or something, or your files corrupt?

Yep, I'm a real bitch when things aren't going my way. You use the asrock h110? that's nice to know. they work somewhere in the world.

since starting this thread the whole thing has collapsed. just goes into an endless round of booting to setup now.

but if I can get it back to sanity I'll try to install next to the router and plug in the ethernet for immediate connection to the web - might help, access to drivers, whatever...

i heard the usb2 ports on the asrock aren't really usb ports. a sort of downgraded usb3 this guy said, to explain why it all didn't work for me.
