Windows 7 RTM x64 – Missing driver of CD / DVD drive during installation
Yesterday I downloaded Windows 7 x64 from MSDN and burned the image on a rewritable disk.
Soon after the welcome screen of the setup it displayed me that the driver of the CD / DVD drive is missing.
First I was wondering how it is possible that I boot from DVD and it can read the DVD but then it displays a message that the driver is missing. It is a little bit strange.
So I tried it once again with the same result.
If solved this problem by installing Window 7 from my USB-Drive.
In order to do so you have to do the following steps:
- Open the command line (CMD) width administrator rights
- type Diskpart and press enter
- type List Disk and press enter
- type Select Disk ZZ (Replace ZZ with the number which represents your USB Drive) and press enter
- type clean and press enter
- type create partition primary and press enter
- type active and press enter
- type format fs=fat32 quick and press enter
- type assign and press enter
- Just copy all files of your disk to your usb drive
- Restart and boot from USB
Now you should be able to install it without problems
