Im trying your doing a clean install of windows 7 and it says cd/dvd rom drivers are missing

Installation does not go as expected, ive installed 100's of times and now im getting cddvd rom drivers are missing and help guys

Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

Fix for CD/DVD drive missing:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/982116

Go into the BIOS to start the computer and change the setting from IDE to AHCI. This allows Windows 7 to recognize the SATA CD or DVD ROM drive you dΘmarrez since and it should install.

This probably won't work if your CD/DVD-ROM is not a SATA drive.

  • Clean install of Windows 8 and Windows 7

    How do a clean install of windows 8 on a 7 hp windows computer. and how can you do a system recovery

    without having to install all other unwanted. Just the Windows 8 or Windows 7 works.

    It seems like HP won't install us just the OS.

    answer please.

    I'm glad you found it useful.

    Pre-ignition works for Windows 8, but it is slightly different. In Vista and 7, all of the computers Dell with Windows 7 Edition home premium for example turned on and had the same product key. They also come with Windows 7 modes of action that had a unique product key (the key of SLP). I also think that a Dell DVD could not be used on a HP and vice versa. Modes of action were of poor quality and prone to fading. In Windows 8, there is a unique product key into the system BIOS that supports the DVD (or MSDN/Technet .iso) starts from the BIOS. I suppose a Dell DVD could be used on a HP and vice versa, but I don't have a system with Windows 8 to run some tests on.

    I recently bought a HP Envy X 360 laptop for work. The laptop comes with Windows preinstalled 10.

    I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 and during the installation, I get an error message "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you have a drive floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

    c:\Drivers\x86

    c:\Drivers\x64

    (1) copy the ISO files from the DVD to install Windows 7 in a directory - c:\temp\dvd_files

    (2) mount the boot.wim file

    -you know what image to update because the install.wim file contains all the images (except Enterprise).  If installing 64-bit Home Premium - that would be index 2

    Copy your files to USB and everything should be good.

    I forgot something.  The boot.wim file has two images.  So after step 2, you must do exactly the same thing again but on index 2 like this:

    mount the boot.wim file

    -dism/mount-WIM /wimfile:c:\temp\dvd_files\sources\boot.wim / index: 2 /mountdir:C:\temp\mount

  • I was going to do a clean install of windows xp...

    I was going to do a clean install of windows xp and for this I'll use the drive of the Dell operating system I have. Using what I had to restart my laptop with the disc in the drive, follow the instructions and get to the stage where the partitions are listed. I was going to delete the primary partition, and then just create a new NTFS partition. Once the installation program would end, I suppose that the machine would take me to configure the user account, but how does it work with activation.

    1 should I disable xp first, or given that I have you deleted the main partition is my license already disabled xp and I can use it again? And I am doing something wrong with the whole installation process.

    2.Oh, and by the way, is the license code that can be used on a similar xp installation? As if the machine is xp home edition is installed now, I can do the clean install with xp home edition with media center edition 2005 and work with this version activation code?

    Thank you all!

    Dell OEM of Windows version are tied to the computer first it is installed on. That's why the disc and product 'cannot' book key using the CD in Media Center. You can try to use the CD key and product of the media centre but be prepaired ro reinstall XP home if it activates or the device drivers does not not to the configuration of your computer. I used the words "cannot" work I've seen in the past apparently universal CD a Dell for some reason any worked.

    XP is "off" once it is deleted in the player.

  • Laptop HP 15-R204NE: clean install of Windows 10

    Hello

    I'm ready to do a clean install of Windows 10 but the only thing that worried me are the drivers provided factory installed with my laptop, it was initially delivered with Windows 64 - bit of 8.1. I don't want to lose one that I have no idea how or where I'm going to do if I lose everything. If someone has a way to understand this help is very much appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    Hello Zarakkhan ;

    I read your post on the new install of drivers of Win10 and wanted to help.

    As to the first, the upgrade of active Win10 through something known as right digital, install some sense, when you perform an upgrade on the spot on an existing Win7/8/8.1, upgrade reuses the existing product key for activation.  After you confirm that the machine is turned on, you can THEN do a clean install on the same machine.  IF you do a clean install without activating the first, you will not activate your copy of Win10.

    That said, MS released earlier to a new update to Win10 and (allegedly), you should be able to do a clean install with NEW media made from multimedia authoring tool and have it activate using your product key of Win8.1.  But, I haven't read anyone done this yet, is just a rumor at this point.

    As for save the drivers, there's a product excellent freeware called Driver Backup.  After you download and install it, you can then save out all your current drivers on a USB key.  This will make reinstall them later a simple process. I know it works because I use this product myself.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

    Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

    I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

    I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

    I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

The map didn't always work with a driver.

    In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

    Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.
