CD/dvd driver not found when installing Windows 7 on Asus f501A

I am trying to install windows 7 on this laptop. Windows 8 are installed, but the drivers for the hardware that I need to use are not supported. I connect to cd/dvd-rom to boot from usb. I can install windows now the next screen ask a driver for the cd/dvd driver.

I suggest, if you want to run Windows 7 on your system, you must do it through a virtual machine:

You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

https://www.VirtualBox.org/wiki/downloads

VMware Player;

http://downloads.VMware.com/d/details/player_401/dGpkYnRwd3didGRwQA==

or

You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

  • No hard drive not found when installing Windows 7

    I have a HP Envy 4 - Ultrabook 1046tx and the operating system Windows 64-bit 8.1. While downgrading to Windows 7 64 bit I was unable to find the hard drives. In the installation screen it showed me "no hard drive found. Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage.'.»

    I downloaded all the versions (from most recent to oldest) technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers and I tried install one by one but they do not work and the hard drives are still not visible. But if I use a Windows 8 install disc and install the driver drives are visible.

    I need my computer to display the default hard drives without the need for a SATA driver. How do I do that? My Intel chipset manufacturer and model is Ivy Bridge HM77.


    Can someone help me solve the problem please?

    Thanks in advance!

    I tried a lot of things these steps. But this has not worked for me. Might work for others. I'm sticking with Windows 8.1 for awhile and I will continue to find other ways. If I find the solution will immediately post the solution in this thread. Thanks to Paul_Tikkanen for helping me!

    Hello!

    I wanted to install a new Windows 7 (without recovery), but the hard drive was not found during installation. In the start instead menu I can find the drive. So what I need is a driver. But I have no idea where to get one! Can anyone help?

  • dm1z-3000 | SSD drive not found when cleaning Windows Installer

    Greetings-

    Had this dm1z-300 in recent years. Works like a charm to destination (navigation, messaging, presentations). Wanted to inject some new life into it. Bought a 120 GB SanDISK SSD. Out of the old HD (5400 RPM SATA 3), SSD format on another machine (NTFS) before falling in the dm1z. Restarted with Windows 7 Pro Installer on USB. At through the early stages of Setup very well, but once he gets to the part of installation actually (i.e., where it starts to copy the files), I am told that "no hard drive have been found.

    Drive is fine (tested using case of external hard drive on a couple of machines), so it's not the drive. Controller is fine, since everything works great if I put the old drive back in place.

    So, what's the problem? Tried to jump into the BIOS to see if there was anything I needed to "change", but the BIOS on this machine is lower even rudimentary - there nothing I can find that transforms a HD (or most other devices, by the way), works.

    Suggestions?

    [SOLVED]

    1\ put an SSD drive in the machine

    2 started GParted Live

    3\ astonished all the partitions on the SSD drive - in other words, returend it completely unallocated State

    4 restarted with the installer of Windows 7 on USB - which is now the disc.

    So, apparently, formatting the drive * before * trying the Windows installation is causing problems. Of course, your results may vary.

    Now, just to tweak the settings on the SSD, but at least I had a limiting step rather key (difficult to install a BONE when he does not see the drive!  ;-)

  • CD/DVD drive not found in Windows 7

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545.  I did a clean install of Windows 7 (x 32 Edition) and since my drive CD/DVD is not found except in the BIOS and when I manually eject the drive it will pop up for a few seconds.  It's a TSST corp DVD +-RW T5 - L633B ATA Device.  Dell has released a driver for the problem, but as my computer can not find the drive it will not download the driver.  It will only appear in a few seconds Device Manager when I eject it, but then it disappears again and will not reappear unless I have the eject again.  When I put a disk it then the drive will show up but that's it.

    I tried deleting the upper and lower registry and I also tried the suggestion of integrity checks off without success.

  • Hard drives not found when you try to install Windows Server 2008

    Hey guys and girls,

    I've spent the last 20 hours, trying to solve the problem of not being able to install windows server 2008 r2 on a new Dell server.

    My configuration is:

    Dell PowerEdge R310

    4 x 1 TB 7.2 K SATA HDD

    Controller Raid PERC H700

    I can't even install the drivers that I downloaded from the Dell support site because Windows Server 2008 Setup will not recognize them.  These factors include the Raid Controller, chipsets Intel, SATA etc.

    I used the settings default, all changed the Auto Off Ports and vica versa, I put the server in Raid and ATA mode with all the possibilities, but it will be will not detect any HD!

    Please help, as it is essential for my health, employment and mental health.

    Best regards

    Sami L.

    What OS?  What RAID controller?  How many discs?  The size?  RAID level?

    I can't assume that everything is the same, especially when you have a different system altogether which does not support the H700 (so the files would have been meaningless even if Dell had not broken links). :)

  • HP 15 - r014TX: GFT Drive Partition problem when installing Windows 7 on my HP 15 - r014TX

    Hello
    I have a new HP laptop that had windows OS 8.1. OS has been corrupted and now when I try to install Windows 7 on the same I get this error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »
    So, I saw a few videos of the solution on youtube and found that I need to convert MBR mode and for that I need to clean the drive and re partition which will result in the loss of data. As I don't have a BONE in my laptop that I can't even get back to the top of my data.
    Some can give me alternatives by which I can back up my data or install windows without losing my data.
    I tried the option "Repair Windows" so while installing windows7, but even that does not work as the OS recovery file is missing.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    Just to make sure, when starting in legacy mode, you'll normally see two optical drive options:

    CDROM

    and

    CDROM (uefi)

    You see two options, and if so, you select the CDROM (uefi)?

    Otherwise, an option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

  • Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

    History:

    I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

    IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

    IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

    I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

    The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

    How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

    I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

    This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

    However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

    Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
    Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

    For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

  • DVD drive not found

    My PC (Pavillion P6022SC originally Windows Vista OS) suddenly frozen. I closed, restarted and had to restore the system - but it also failed - when she has been reset, it was impossible to find the operating system.

    I upgradet to Windows 7, a year ago and the HP recovery system has also been upgradet. I tried this once recovery before without problem

    I could see in the BIOS setting and who starts any drives hard and no DVD player has been detected. Both types are connected by SATA cables.

    I bought a new hard drive, still nothing happened and then I bought a HP recovery kit.

    But my DVD is not recognized (1st boot device), and none of the hard drives are recognized. I have an external DVD drive and try this - it is recognized, but the system tells me that none of the hard drives are available, so it is impossible to recover the system.

    Can I have a problem with the SATA connections? Or is it aBios or something else.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables at both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer and the manufacturer of the device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some entries in the registry that the troubleshooter does not solve, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the correct registry entries for your car.

    These are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - secondary-keys for the CD/DVD drive of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.
