Windows 7 OEM installation disc doesn't have a USB driver
The topic says my problem. The installation starts, but ends when it is necessary to use the mouse. I had to pay to get Windows 7 Professional installed. I was told that it was necessary to "slipstreaming" the missing driver. I would like some tips so that I could do the job myself. (Is there a slipstreaming software?)
Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed
Each Windows 7 installation media should include class for Generic USB devices drivers. I suspect that the installation media is corrupt. Try to download a new copy of the edition that you have licensed for. Create a bootable copy, and then try the installation again:

Original title: DVD RW drive
I'm having a problem with my computer toshiba M645. When I insert my recovery disk its Blanck, but if I used the same disc in another computer I can see the contents inside. I try inserting the disk dvd movies and it will play normally. Please give me help with this problem because I want to get my phone to the sound out of the box state. Thank you.
Hello
The drive came with the laptop or you did it yourself in the recovery Partition?
And you're supposed to boot from the recovery disc to start the recovery process.
You change the Boot order to make the CD/DVD drive first in the boot order. Then, you start from the disc.
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
And as a way to re - install with most of the Toshibas, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the process of recovery back to settings factory (new State) of the recovery Partition.
See you soon.

Windows 7 OEM installation does not work immediately
Hello
I tried to install Windows 7 x 64 Premium on a new computer, but I still get this error: "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing".
I tried two Windows 7 different DVDs, including a new copy from NewEgg, and two of them have started successfully on the drive, so I really don't see what the problem is? I used two readers different external DVD, but what specific drivers for each drive could Windows even need? DVD players must be sufficiently interchangeable to avoid this problem.
I found this article on the basis of knowledge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2755139, but after using two different DVDs, both manufacturers, none of this applies really, unless they have both missed the combustion.
Means that the probable error, the installation media is corrupt. You can download and create a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, and then try again.
Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

I'm currently under Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I have the opportunity to get a copy of Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade Version) at a significant discount. My question is simple. Can I switch from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional through the Professional upgrade version?
Please note that I don't want to use Windows Anytime Upgrade to Home Premium to professional. On the contrary, I want to use the disk to upgrade to Windows 7 professional real upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium. Thank you.
Well, I tried it and the answer is no. The only way to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional is by using Windows Anytime Upgrade.
The price is $ 89.95. Carey Frisch
