"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing."

The product name is HP G6 1331sa / A8M93EA #ABU

OS - Windows 7 Edition Home Premium x 64

Error message

If you do not see the image, the link is http://prntscr.com/18s2dm

What I try to do is to install a new copy of Windows 7 Professional x 64 Microsoft. I have the motivation to not use recovery discs and I have done this before on different computers and so are aware of having to reinstall the drivers

Anyone know where I can download the driver for the "CD/DVD drive device driver? Checked on the support page for this laptop, found nothing

The recovery discs work very well, but I don't want to use

Thanks for reading,

-James

Hi, James:

Most likely the media you use is incomplete or a bad burn to the DVD if you have the installation media of the ISO download on Digital River.

There is no missing drivers. W7 has all the drivers needed to install on your model.

Follow these instructions and see if you can get W7 installed in this way.

I would use the MS tool USB ISO.

Make sure you absolutely get the entire ISO file when you see the download complete message.

Sometimes, he reports the download is finished and your ISO file is a lot smaller that what he said was downloading.

Use the W7 pro product key you have.

Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • Load the driver - A required CD/DVD driver is missing

    OK, so after three days to try and fight with the installation I have WIN7 RC 7100 64 bit operating.

    Given that many people had with missing driver CD/DVD, error I was blocked I'll list the steps I took to work. Before I did anything, I downloaded a free copy of Boot disc Hiren with Patch keyboard just in case I had of problems (freeware and easy enough to find if you google it). I found myself only use it for the DOS prompt but hey - ho...
    Some of these steps may seem redundant, but ultimately, this is what took the OS for me:
    1 partition and reformat HD's BACK with the commands FDISK and FORMAT C:
    2. install a Vista 64 bit version which, in turn, re-partitioned the drive itself
    3. once Vista was running (does not have a code because I knew that I wouldn't be on it for a long time) inserted the RC 64 bit DVD
    4. in the install window, I ran the check compatibility online tool
    5. He told me that my ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI controller must be updated in order to install
    6 Ran Wizard to update to Vista which has found a new driver for the ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI
    7 rebooted Vista 64 to finalize the updates updated (removed DVD RC while restarting disk)
    8. once started, re-insert the DVD of the RC, click on install and went through all the normal installation steps.
    Again, this may seem unnecessary (as the FDISK / FORMAT) time, but ultimately it's what works and what I've been through, the problem people seem to have with the CD/DVD driver not found is that the ITE IT8211 ATA/ATAPI controller is not updated. I couldn't find a place to just "Download driver" and put it on a drive flash or something, I got allow windows to do that I hope it will not be the people back. I'm not enough common sense to see if you can install the driver in another way.
    Hope that this info is of use to someone and if anyone has questions, feel free to leave a message and I'll check it out later today.

  • Error message "a required CD/DVD driver is missing" - install Windows7 via USB

    So I recently built a new office because my laptop fried itself, and I ran into the famous message "drver cd/dvd required is missing."  I tried many solutions to internet: change SATA AHCI, ATA, IDE; starting with only the hard drive; and the solution that works for 95% of the population: pulling out the USB and insert into another port to the Welcome screen.

    Nothing has worked.  I have downloaded the drivers for my motherboard out of their Web site, uncompressed them and put the files on the USB key.  The drivers are not yet recognised because they don't show up in the "Scanning for drivers.

    I used the tool Windows 7 USB Installation and WinToFlash to make the USB bootable, nor work.  I have my USB drive plugged into a port DAC - UP, because I read that Windows 7 is not supported with native support for USB3.0.

    Please help me!

    Well, I just fixed this problem.  I found a Youtube video on this specific issue, and he said that the non-existent USB3.0 support was to blame.

    I followed the video, mounted the USB3.0 drivers to the boot.wim and booted up my office as usual.  This time, he spent the error message and let me install Windows.

    I am so happy.

    Hello Sir

    I recently brought lenovo s20 nootbook laptop with win8.1. now I want to change it for win 7 but at the start of the process, I am faced with the question IE a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing error.

    Hi Kothalanka,

    We are there to answer your concern about the installation process of Windows 7 .

    Here are the following reasons why a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing error message occurs:

    • The installation DVD is removed during the installation process.
    • A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
    • The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
    • The DVD drive cannot read media.
    • The ISO file is corrupted.

    To resolve your concern, we suggest you use one of the following methods, depending on your situation:

    • Burn the DVD to install at a slower speed.
    • Best DVD quality to create the installation DVD.
    • Update BIOS firmware for your DVD player.
    • Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a bootable USB key and then use the USB flash drive to install Windows.

    If you still encounter the same error after doing one of the above resolution, here are a few troubleshooting methods that you can do:

    • Run the DVD on another computer to determine if the DVD works properly.
    • Test your DVD player using a Windows installation DVD official.
    • Attach the ISO file to a virtual machine to verify if it is corrupted.

    Probably the installation media itself is corrupt. If your Alienware is preinstalled with Windows 7, then you should be able to reinstall using the recovery partition:

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    To restore the image while preserving the data files:
    Turn off your computer.1.
    Disconnect all devices connected to the computer (such as USB key, 2 printer and so forth) and remove any recently added hardware in-house. NOTE: Do not unplug the AC adapter cable.
    Turn on your ordinateur.3.
    When the Alienware logo appears, press several times to access the 4. Advanced Boot Options window. NOTE: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop; then, shut down your computer and try again.
    Select 5. Repair your computer.
    Select 6. AlienRespawn and backup emergency in the System Recovery Options menu and follow the instructions on the screen. NOTE: The restore process may take an hour or more depending on the size of the data to be restored. NOTE: For more information on AlienRespawn, see article 353560 at support.Dell.com knowledge base.

    If the recovery partition does not work:

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    I have the same problem that many others have described here on the DVDR drive not detected after installing Windows 7. I still have not solved this issue. But I have another similar problem. The system will not recognize an external USB DVDR drive connected to a USB port. In essence, I have no access to the internal drive (in a Dell Inspiron 1545) or the external hard drive. Without access to a DVD player I can't even uninstall Windows 7, and I can not install or save anything else without a drive. I'm at my wits end. If anyone can help I will shower you with praise.

  • Installing Win7 on 6005 Pro SFF - "a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing...". »

    Get this message from the Windows 7 installer at boot on Win7 Pro 32-bit disk. Have you tried several drivers likely to search in the pages of downloads HP - expansion on another machine and copy the folder of "swsetup" on a USB key and navigation on the offending machine - with the BIOS set to AHCI, Legacy IDE, Native Mode IDE and RAID in turn, but no joy.

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    If you have the installation media yourself (to download the ISO of W7), which is normally due to a bad burn to DVD or you didn't get the entire file to download even though it said full.

    Check the download file size you actually, vs, which is on the download site.

    Your PC didn't need special drivers to install W7 - DVD, AHCI or otherwise.

  • When installing: lack of Cd/DVD device driver ("A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing)

    I get this on the screen of installation with the river digital iso home installation. Workaround solutions?

    Hey everybody,

    I had this problem as well and I burned another copy of the ISO and it worked fine.

    It seems that this message could be related to a bad disk, or a bad burn.

    Try to burn the ISO again, you can try to use the Microsoft Store ISO burning tool (I used, works very well) located here:

    http://store.Microsoft.com/help/ISO-tool

    If this does not work I would recommend to put the ISO on a USB key (using the same tool ISO link above) and try installing from the USB stick.

    If you don't have a usb key that is large enough, the last step to try is to re-download the ISO and burn it again, we have seen some cases where ISO wasn't the right size and has proved to be an incomplete download / corrupt ISO.

    I hope this helps.
