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. Is there another place I can get a storage controller driver that will work? Or is there anywhere I can download the installation of custom OEM Win7 HP media which is suitable for this model of PC?

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.

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

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop, and at the time of installation, I get the following message:

    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.

  • HP 6005 Pro SFF: Replace video card ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics upgrade for HP 6005 Pro SFF

    I have a HP 6005 Pro SFF with a 240W PS, and I want to upgrade the video card.  It has an ATI Radeon HD 4200.    An HP Forum person (Paul Tikkanen) recommended an upgrade for a 6005 using a video card optional for the HP 6200 Pro SFF:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814121439&cm_re=hd_6450-_-14-121-439-_-product

    Please confirm it also works for the 6005.  If I replace it, can I actually remove the Radeon 4200 and replace it directly at the space of the same card mother slot to save space of PCI Expansion slot, or do I use the expansion PCI Express 16 x slot?   If so, is the procedure for the direct replacement documented anywhere?

    Hello:

    The ATI Radeon HD 4200 Video on your PC is the graphics chip integrated according to page 14 of the quickspecs at the link below. In other words, the graphics card is a chip that is soldered to the motherboard.  It is not in an expansion slot.

    http://static.highspeedbackbone.NET/PDF/HP%20Compaq%206005%20PRO%20Business%20pc%20Quick%20Specs.PDF

    The dedicated PCI express x 16 slot should be empty now, and this is where you install the card I have recommended.

    I don't see why the HD 6450 work.  It works in the dc7800, dc7900, Pro 6000, 6200 pro, 8000 Elite, Elite 8100 and 8200 Elite business desktop PC.

    You just need to make sure that uninstall you the HD 4200 graphics card and the driver in Device Manager.  Also check the uninstalling the driver box.

    Also uninstall catalyst control center software in the Add/Remove programs in the control panel section, stop and disconnect the PC, install your new video card and the driver for the 6450.

    Here is the link to the service manual. See Chapter 2 pp 20-25 for the installation procedures card expansion, paying special attention to the info of PCIe x 16 slot.

    Hello:

    Compare the specifications of the two models, it seems that the only thing you can use the hard drive, what said you was not good, so it does not work.

    The 6005 Pro uses different memory (DDR3) and 531's DDR2, which does not in a DDR3 slot.

    The 6005 uses another set of AMD processors and that of your 531 s will not work in the 6005 Pro.

  • WHILE the error is absent INSTALL WIN 7 I AM facing ISSUE is to say--a required cd/dvd drive device driver

    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.

    For more information on how to resolve the error a required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing , click here.

    Do not forget to back up your files by using a storage device externally (for example USB, external HARD drive) before installing Windows 7 , in order to avoid any possible data loss.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Kind regards.

  • A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. Please insert now

    Hello

    I have;

    HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

    This is the AMD version.

    My hard drive is dead (clunkcing, and when I joined this office machine, windows cannot load, it is not found in acronis either), so I put a 750 GB sata 2.5 drive replacement in an online store.

    When I try and install window 7 (via a USB, made using windows 7 USB / dvd tool, own iso ditial River) it still produces this message

    "A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. If you have a floppy drive, cd, DVD or usb flash drive please insert it now.

    Now, it's not to do with the dvd but actualy need the driver for the SATA controller drive, I checked the download page, but I can't find (the only driver chipset's usb 3.0)

    Now before anyone jumps and said 'just restore', I can't that HP didn't give a CD but rather to put the recoevery on the disk THAT DIED HARD, EXCELLENT WORK.

    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:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • [s205] How to install Win7 x 64 from scratch on a new hard drive?

    Hello

    I have a little problem to solve...

    I own a s205. My hard drive died. I replaced it with a new one. After that, I tried to install Win7 x 64. When installing, it created 2 small partitions. It was strange to me, I saw him for the first time. Later, I read that it is because of the UEFI.

    In any case, installed all good, but after installing the drivers, I have encountered some problems. Or net card worked. I started looking for information and I know that the problem is UEFI.

    My question - can someone write a guide how to install Win7 x 64 on s205 in traditional mode, so everything should work as before? Unfortunately I didn't save the DVD or any other source of images of Lenovos.

    Kind regards

    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.

    Hi Rob

    It is quite complicated to explain how to remove the optical disk drive. Before you do this, you must remove the top cover. The optical disk drive is fixed with two screws. When you remove the two of them, you can get out the ODD of its Bay.

    Sorry, but without exact maintenance manuals is not easy to explain this. It is quite complicated to disassemble the procedure for this model of laptop. Do you have already removed your Satellite Pro?
