A media driver your computer needs is missing - Cant install windows 10

[lukejdarling]

Hi,

I have just built a new rig:

i5 7600k, msi z270 gaming pro carbon TX, NVIDIA 1070. Using SSD from previous rig, and a new clean hdd.

Im having massive issues installing windows 10 from USB. My ssd was installed on an old build with a different mother board and cpu. Im aware of the issues so decided to format everything and start over. Nice and simple. Not!

Ive been trying for a whole day but when I get to the install part of winodws 10 (clean iso installed with rufus), I get an error saying: A media driver your computer needs is missing. Then if i click okay, I get a second error: No device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok.

Now the drives dont show up where i select to install windows 10. But they do show up in the BIOS and also if i browse for drivers. This has been killing me. I have 0 clue whats going wrong. Ive done many builds but never come across this before. Does anyone have a clue or come accross this before?

Have you plugged the USB direct into the back of the motherboard and not the front slots of the case?

Thank you for your advice!! I didn't plug in the cable from the motherboard to the USB drive, which gave me the error message.

That error can also be caused by the USB drive you are using, try making another installer on a new USB if the problem persists.
