Hi, Adam:

 

Download and extract the W7 64 bit drivers to a USB flash drive from the link I posted above. Those would be on the first download listed.

 

Then when W7 asks for the driver, you select the one I posted above from the list.  That is the AHCI driver you need.   Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller

Hi,

Oh okay, should I install Win 7 through disk or USB?

You can install via the disk but there is the option to add the SATA/RAID driver where it will see your USB flash drive and you can scroll to and select that driver to install.

 

Otherwise, I would download the W7 SP1 ISO installation file from the other link I posted, and use that tool to put it on a flash drive.

 

It makes it bootable and everything.  Just save anything you currently have on there to another place because the tool will format the flash drive.

Okay, and would I slipstream the ISO to include the SATA/RAID driver on the flash drive?

Hi, Adam

 

I had the exact same issue on my M6-1115tx, what version of Windows are you trying to install, I tried both home premium and ultimate but when I bought an OEM version of PRO that installed with no issues what so ever. If your not using pro then I would suggest that, otherwise I have no other ideas for you

You can either slipstream it or install using the advanced options in the install menu.

Hi jsw
I have been trying to install Ultimate. So that may be my problem. Did you run the install from disk and loaded driver through USB?

Yes, I did, you may find that the Wi-Fi driver doesn't work, however your ethernet should and you can google the compatable id's and they should work. Some drivers you can also autoupdate in the device manager
