Windows 7 will not install, it cannot find the drivers

I have a Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2. I am trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium on a new SATA drive. Before installing, I formatted the hard disk by using Windows XP (running on another HDD SATA). The two SATA drives are connected directly to the motherboard.

I install from a flash drive, for reasons I will explain below. The installer comes to the point where it asks if you want to perform a custom installation or upgrade. I select custom installation, and the next screen says it can't find drivers and guests to find the drivers. Because I can't provide the necessary drivers, the installation does not further.

I could copy the drivers to the flash drive, if I knew what files they were. The drivers from the site Web of Dell's downloadable apparently only as a .exe file that you run to install drivers, in order to get the individual driver files is problematic.

Previously, I tried to install Windows 7 from the original XP disc. This is 'successful', apparently because it finds the drivers what he needed on the XP disc. But then I couldn't boot Win7 except the XP disc was running. On this basis, I suppose that the pilots were located on the XP disc but not copied on the Win7 disk during installation, so that if I try to boot from the Windows 7 disc and the XP disk was not running, Win7 can not find the drivers and does not start.

That's why I tried to install from the flash drive... so the new facility would be not dependent on disk XP to start. But now, as I say, the Windows 7 install program stalls at the prompt for drivers.

You can use some advice. Thank you.

Downloaded an older version of the Win 7/Vistadrivers and it seems stable so far.

The player seems to be erased, but now when I try to install Win XP it goes through the formatting process I get a message that says that the formatting may not be completed and the reader can be corrupted or damaged. I tried several times, including the variant of the size of the partition, but I get the same message.

    2 questions - 1 - is - it a way to tackle this problem and 2 - if I buy a new hard drive, which will solve the problem?

    Hello

    I am trying to configure a newly purchased office of Acer (Aspire ACX - 603 G-UW31), who has installed Windows 8.1, for my mother who cannot grasp the steep learning curve of Windows 7 to Windows 8.

    I have a licensed copy of Windows 7 x 64 on DVD, and even after the SecureBoot mode off then launch MSC forever and then starting with F12, by selecting the DVD drive as a boot device, Windows will not install correctly.

    The very first steps of the configuration are very well, it is, I'm asking the press actually starts to any key to boot from the DVD, Windows Setup loads some files, but the problem comes when the installation of Windows. I get a STOP error to the ASF with the message "The BIOS in this system is not fully complaint ACPI." There is no BIOS update for this model. That's the traditional way...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you, Nick

    All,

    I would like to announce, we have released an update of the BIOS that supports the element of 'Throw the CSM' in the BIOS Setup menu. Please visit http://www.acer.com/worldwide/ -> select your region-> click Support-> drivers and manuals-> select your product and then download the version of BIOS released on 15/09/2014 (or later version).

    Please be aware due to material limitations when MCS-mode you may experience some audio issues HDMI.

    Hello
     

    1. have you downloaded the stand-alone package for the service Pack 2 or are you using Windows update?
    2. you also try to install Windows 7?

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Method 2.
